Chicken Madeira Rigatoni Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Rigatoni

   In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Chicken

   While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

3. 3

   Cook the Chicken

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

4. 4

   Sauté the Mushrooms and Garlic

   In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

   Deglaze the Pan

   Pour in the Madeira wine and chicken broth, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes.
