I love chicken Marsala and chicken Marsala pizza, so it was an almost sure bet that I was going to like chicken Marsala fettuccine. This recipe serves 4.
8 oz fettuccine
2 tsp olive oil
1 lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
1 tsp salt
12 oz cremini mushrooms, halved
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large shallot, chopped finely
1 tbs all purpose flour
1/2 cup Marsala wine
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 tsp black pepper
Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Drain and keep warm.
Sprinkle chicken with salt. Heat 1 tsp oil in large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to plate.
Add remaining tsp oil to skillet and add mushrooms, rosemary, garlic, and shallot. Cook over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over mixture and cook 1-2 minutes longer, stirring constantly.
Add the wine, broth, and pepper; bring to a boil, then simmer until sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Return chicken and accumulated juices to skillet as well as fettuccine. Toss to coat pasta with the sauce and heat through.

TASTE NOTES
The combination of garlic, shallot, rosemary, and Marsala is the key to the success of this dish. Using chicken thighs instead of breasts ensures a juicy protein. The only thing I would change is to add some spinach to the dish next time. Quick and delicious.
