Chicken

Mushrooms

Marsala Cream Sauce

Fettuccini

Method

Prepare Chicken

  1. 1

    Season and Sear

    Season chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken thighs for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Confit Chicken

    Reduce heat to medium-low and let the chicken thighs cook in their own juices for an additional 10-15 minutes, then remove from skillet and set aside.

Cook Mushrooms

  1. 3

    Sauté Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add sliced Baby Bella mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender.

Make Marsala Cream Sauce

  1. 4

    Deglaze Skillet

    Pour in Marsala wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Cream

    Add heavy cream and butter. Stir until combined and let it simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Cook Fettuccini

  1. 6

    Boil Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add fettuccini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 7

    Drain and Combine

    Drain the fettuccini and add it directly to the Marsala cream sauce. Toss to combine.

Serve

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the fettuccini topped with the confit chicken thighs and spoon over the Marsala cream sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
