Skillet Chicken Marsala Recipe on 5DollarDinners.com

Holy flavor explosion!

But it’s not just the flavor that I love…it’s that I can have this on the table in 20 minutes!

BECAUSE YOU DON’T HAVE TO COOK THE CHICKEN!

First off, start cooking the pasta.

Then, while the pasta is cooking, you whip up the Chicken Marsala sauce and they both finish cooking about the same time and BOOM. Dinner is ready to serve!

Below is the play by play…

Skillet Chicken Marsala

Melt the butter.

Skillet Chicken Marsala-2

Whisk in the flour.

(You can definitely do a gluten free flour blend to keep this GF. You’d have to make GF pasta or serve with rice for completely GF meal!)

Skillet Chicken Marsala-3

Add spices and seasoning.

Skillet Chicken Marsala-4

Pour in the chicken stock.

Skillet Chicken Marsala-5

Pour in the Marsala cooking wine.

Skillet Chicken Marsala-6

Whisk up and let the sauce thicken.

Add the sliced mushrooms.

Skillet Chicken Marsala-7

Let simmer about 5-8 minutes until begin to cook down.

Skillet Chicken Marsala-8

Add the rotisserie or shredded chicken.

Skillet Chicken Marsala-9

Mix it all up in the skillet.

Skillet Chicken Marsala-10

Drop in some green/parsley, if you like.

Skillet Chicken Marsala-11

And now it’s ready to serve!

Skillet Chicken Marsala

Drop over some pasta or rice.

Skillet Chicken Marsala

And enjoy!

Skillet Chicken Marsala

Flavor explosion! Super easy to make when you use leftover chicken!
Prep Time15 minutes minutes
Cook Time15 minutes minutes
Servings - 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 16 oz small shell pasta
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 4 Tbsp flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp minced dried onion
  • 2-3 cups chicken stock (depending on how thick you want the sauce)
  • 1/2 cup marsala cooking wine
  • 8 oz sliced baby bella mushrooms
  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped - optional garnish
  • Fresh veggies, as side dish

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta as directed.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter and whisk in the flour and then the garlic powder and minced onion. Stream in the chicken stock and marsala cooking wine and whisk quickly to prevent clumping of the liquid with the flour.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and simmer for a few minutes until they reduce down in size. Then stir in the cooked, rotisserie chicken. Add chopped parsley as garnish, if you like.
  • Prepare fresh veggies.
  • Serve Skillet Chicken Marsala with fresh veggies.
