Chicken – I chose boneless skinless chicken thighs in this recipe to get the most tender and juicy chicken, but skinless chicken breast works just as well. Mushrooms – You’ll need a pound of white button mushrooms, sliced. You can sub with cremini mushrooms. Pasta – Use any small shaped pasta like penne, rotini, elbow macaroni, mafalda, mini shells, etc. Marsala Wine – You’ll need a dry Marsala wine which is a fortified wine. Check out the “expert tips” for other wine substitutes and non alcoholic options. Onion and Garlic – Essential to flavor our sauce. Parmesan Cheese – I recommend freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Liquids – We’ll need lots of chicken broth, low sodium preferred, and heavy cream to add lots of creaminess to our sauce. Olive oil – Use a good quality olive oil. You can also replace this with 2 tablespoons of butter.
How To Make Creamy Chicken Marsala In The Instant Pot
This recipe is easily adaptable for your beloved Instant Pot. Here’s how you’ll make it:
What Is Marsala Wine?
Marsala wine is a fortified wine from Sicily that’s commonly used in cooking to create incredible caramelized sauces. It usually comes as dry or sweet, but for this recipe I recommend using a dry Marsala. Sweet Marsala would sweeten the sauce too much.
Leftovers
This creamy chicken marsala pasta is just as delicious the next day. Store leftovers in an airtight container or freezer bag in the fridge for up to 3 – 4 days.
Freezing
If you want to freeze your leftovers, let the chicken and pasta cool completely then freeze in an airtight container. Your chicken marsala pasta will stay fresh for up to 3 months in the freezer, if stored properly.
