This easy One-Pot Creamy Chicken Marsala Pasta is a weeknight comfort food recipe your whole family will love!

One-Pot Creamy Chicken Marsala Pasta

olive oil

½ lbs raw boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into small bite-sized chunks)

oz sliced white mushrooms

garlic

Marsala wine

butter

all-purpose flour

salt

black pepper

skim milk

chicken broth

oregano

thyme

oz dry whole wheat pasta (I used rotini)

oz Parmesan cheese (freshly shredded)

parsley

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 5 QT Dutch oven or large pot and bring to medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the hot oil and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes until cooked through and browned. If chicken releases liquid while cooking, drain and discard the liquid as needed so the chicken will sauté, not steam/boil. Add the garlic, the mushrooms, and 3 tablespoons of the marsala wine and stir together. Cook for 2-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft. Remove the chicken/mushroom mixture to a side plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the pot. When the butter is melted, whisk in the flour, salt and pepper until combined with the butter (will form a paste). Cook that for about a minute and then slowly whisk in the milk a little at a time to combine it smoothly with the flour mixture. When smooth, add the broth, the remaining marsala wine, the thyme and oregano, and whisk to combine, scraping up any remaining browned bits on the bottom of the pot.

Increase the heat to med-high and stir occasionally until boiling. Add the pasta and reduce the heat to med-low. Cook for 10-12 minutes uncovered, stirring every couple minutes to avoid sticking.

When the pasta is cooked and the sauce is thickened, stir in the Parmesan cheese. Reduce the heat to low and add the reserved chicken and mushrooms back to the pot. Stir everything together and cook for another couple minutes to ensure the reserved ingredients are warm. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

This simple, homemade Turkey Breakfast Sausage is a tasty, healthy, versatile breakfast treat!

Turkey Breakfast Sausage

sage

¼ teaspoon dried marjoram ((or dried oregano))

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

99% turkey breast

Stir together all of the spices in a small dish until thoroughly mixed. Place the ground turkey in a mixing bowl and add the spice mixture. Using clean hands or a fork, mix the spices into the ground turkey until well combined. If possible, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight so flavors can meld.

If making patties: Split the turkey mixture into eight balls, 2 ounces each. Press the balls into patties, about ½ inch thick. Mist a large griddle pan or skillet with cooking spray and bring over medium heat. When hot, place the patties on the pan in a single layer, not touching each other. Cook for 4-5 minutes and then flip. Cook on the other side for anther 4-5 minutes until cooked through.If making crumbles: Mist a large skillet or sauté pan with cooking spray and bring over medium heat. Add the turkey mixture and cook, breaking it up into small chunks for 4-5 minutes until cooked through.

The seasonings are great, but I found I needed much more of them. I will try increasing by 2 - 2.5 times. Maybe even more salt.

Gotta expect some variants on your recipe, right? Let me say up front that you have a great basic spice approach for this. Definitely deserves the 5-star rating even tho I change many things.

I'm a fat-adapted eater (very low carb*) and grind my own chicken sausage from thighs + skin, using your recipe w/ more red pepper flakes (like 3-4x), using Korean gochugaru, which are a "fruitier" flavor... also ~1/2 tsp cayenne. In addition, I use smoked Hungarian paprika. I have Old Guy taste buds and need some kick.

All this gets "kneaded" into the chopped-up chicken to sit overnight before the grind (your notion that meat needs to "steep" in spices is dead on).

Just what I was looking for in a breakfast patty recipe. Thank you!

Absolutely delicious!!! I wasn't a ground turkey fan but this recipe has changed my mind.

Really tasty, even with the salt cut by half.  I added about 1/2 cup of finely grated apple to add sweetness and moisture.  It was still pretty dry, but served with the low fat French toast with maple/applesauce syrup it was fine.

I followed this recipe exactly as written. I didn't have marjoram so I used oregano instead.  I decided to let it set overnight in the fridge to let the flavors set in and it was Delicious! Taste exactly like jimmy dean pork sausage but healthier. Thank you so much for an awesome recipe. This one is a keeper.

These seasoning make for great turkey sausage.  I will share this with friends and family.

This is delicious! I made some changes. I used 93/7 Jenni-O, doubled the maple syrup, and added 1/4 tsp paprika for a little kick. Thanks.

I followed the recipe as written and it was delicious!  Due to alpha gal, I was looking for a breakfast sausage option and I've finally found it.  Thanks for sharing!

Hi I love this recipe! I’m writing from Canada and follow Weight watchers too. I like that you have a link to check the personal points, however it only links it to weightwatchers.com which doesn’t link to Canadian accounts. Would you consider/have the ability to trying to link it to weightwatchers.ca ? 

If not no worries, but just thought I’d ask. Thanks for all your great recipes!
