Ingredients
Chicken:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (used for coating chicken and thickening the sauce)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (halved to make 4 fillets)
Marsala Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- ¾ cup Marsala wine (or dry Sherry)
- 1 cup sodium free chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon salt (more if needed)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
Chicken
- Mix the flour, salt, garlic powder and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and shake off excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Fry 2 of the chicken breasts until golden-brown on both sides (about 3 to 4 minutes per side). Transfer to warm plate, tent with foil and keep warm.
- Repeat the same with the remaining 2 chicken breasts.
Pasta
- Boil pasta in salty water, drain, but do not rinse. Set aside.
Marsala Sauce
- In the same pan melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add 1 tablespoon flour (you can use leftover flour from dredging the chicken) and cook flour until it's no longer white, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the Marsala and the broth and simmer until well incorporated with the flour roux. Add garlic powder, salt and Italian seasoning.
- Pour in the cream, bring to simmering point. The sauce is ready for pasta!
Add Pasta
- Add cooked pasta and make sure that pasta is coated in the sauce. Taste pasta and add more salt, if necessary.
- Add chicken to the skillet, on top of pasta. Cover with lid and reheat on low heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve warm.
