Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and the garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are browned and tender, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes until it slightly thickens.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over it, and let it warm through for 2 minutes. Serve the chicken over the cooked pasta, drizzled with the mushroom sauce.
