Ingredients
  

8 oz (225 g) fettuccine or spaghetti

2 large chicken breasts (about 1 lb or 450 g), sliced into thin strips

1 cup (240 ml) Marsala wine

1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream

1 cup (150 g) cremini or button mushrooms, sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine or spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.

    Sauté the chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Season the sliced chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Cook the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add the garlic and mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are golden brown (about 4-5 minutes).

        Add the Marsala: Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet, scraping the bottom to deglaze. Bring the mixture to a simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

          Make it creamy: Lower the heat and add the heavy cream along with the thyme. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

            Combine all ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mixing it into the creamy sauce. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, gradually mix in the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is achieved.

              Serve: Divide the creamy chicken Marsala pasta among plates, garnish with fresh parsley and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
