Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 12 oz pasta (penne or rigatoni)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cubed chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook until browned. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté onions and garlic until softened, then add mushrooms and cook until tender.
  • Stir in Marsala wine and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly. Add chicken broth and heavy cream, and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and combine with the sauce.
  • In the prepared baking dish, mix the cooked pasta, chicken, and sauce.
  • Top with shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute white wine for Marsala if needed, though it will alter the flavor slightly.
  • Add spinach or peas for extra veggies and color.
  • This casserole can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking.
