Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Chicken Marsala Pasta
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add your pappardelle or preferred pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
- While the pasta is cooking, prepare your chicken by patting the boneless, skinless thighs dry. In a shallow dish, combine all-purpose flour, dried oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of extra virgin olive oil along with a tablespoon of unsalted butter. Once the butter melts, place the dredged chicken in the skillet. Cook for about 6-10 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
- In the same skillet, add more butter if needed, and toss in the sliced white button mushrooms. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until the mushrooms are browned. Add minced shallots and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the shallots are translucent.
- Pour in the dry Marsala wine into the skillet. Add sherry vinegar and balsamic vinegar, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat back to low and return the browned chicken for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully stir in the cooked pasta and a bit of the reserved pasta water. Mix in the grated Parmigiano Reggiano until melted and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper.
- Plate the creamy chicken Marsala pasta and garnish with fresh parsley and additional cheese if desired. Serve hot.
