As promised, I’m bringing you all the one pan meals I can. ‘Tis the season for easy meals, but if you ask me, that season lasts all year. Be sure to check out my collection of one pot pasta recipes and also my sheet pan dinners (more than 20 recipes). I’m adding to those collections every day! How long it takes: about 45 minutes Equipment you’ll need: large straight-sided skillet with lid OR Dutch oven Servings: 6 I have a lot of chicken marsala-inspired recipes on my site. Chicken marsala is one of Ben’s favorite meals and it’s a fun flavor combination to play around with. Plus, I don’t want to leave you with a nearly full bottle of Marsala wondering what you’re going to do with the rest of it. I’ve done a pretty classic, straightforward Instant Pot chicken Marsala. Lately, I thought, Why limit it to chicken? Why not beef? I think you’re going to love this slow cooker beef marsala stew. We sure do! It’s loaded with tender beef and mushrooms, and it’s pretty darn good. Then things get a little more interesting with marsala roasted mushrooms.
About This Chicken Marsala Pasta
This one pan creamy chicken marsala pasta is everything you want in chicken marsala, and more, with tender chicken, flavorful mushrooms, and a creamy, irresistible sauce coating whole wheat pasta.
One Pan: And it only gets one pan dirty. I mean, what did we do before the evolution of one pan pasta recipes? Dishes are what we did. Lots of dishes. Easy to Make: There’s nothing tricky about this recipe. The pasta cooks right in the sauce so there’s no boiling water or colanders in the sink. The starch released from the pasta magically lends the sauce a rich velvety texture. Easy peasy! Healthy: Although creamy pastas are usually sky high in calories, a serving of this pasta is just 584 calories. Using whole wheat pasta adds nutrition and fiber. Boneless skinless chicken breasts are a good source of lean protein. Mushrooms have lots of health benefits, too, with antioxidants and B vitamins (Healthline).
Make It Your Own
Use your favorite pasta. Any type of pasta will work. Choose your favorite. It doesn’t have to be whole wheat if that’s not your thing. However, not all pasta has the same cooking time. Be sure to refer to the package instructions and cook the pasta accordingly. Prefer dark meat? Instead of boneless skinless chicken breasts, simply substitute boneless skinless chicken thighs. Omit the cream: If you’re looking to cut calories, omit the cream from the recipe. It will turn out just fine.
Storage & Reheating Tips
If you have chicken Marsala pasta left over, put it into a covered container. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Because of the creamy sauce, it doesn’t freeze well. To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave at medium power. Larger amounts can be reheated in a covered skillet over low heat. If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit of milk, cream, or water to thin it. Pasta continues to absorb moisture even when it’s refrigerated.
