Follow The Directions

01

Step

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook penne pasta at a boil until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.

02

Step

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir shallot in melted butter until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir mushrooms, asparagus, and sun-dried tomatoes into shallot and butter mixture; cook and stir until asparagus begins to soften, about 10 minutes more.

03

Step

Pour chicken broth and Marsala wine into the skillet; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and stir chicken and cream into mixture.

04

Step

Mix softened butter and flour into a paste in a bowl; stir into chicken mixture. Cook, stirring continually, until the flour is cooked and the liquid thickens, 1 to 2 minutes; ladle over the cooked penne pasta and top with Parmesan cheese to serve.

For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs instead of rotisserie chicken. Sear the chicken thighs in the skillet before adding the vegetables, then simmer in the Marsala cream sauce until cooked through.
Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach.
If you don't have Marsala wine, you can substitute with dry sherry or Madeira wine.
For a creamier sauce, add a splash of half-and-half or whole milk along with the heavy cream.

    This recipe was amazing! The Marsala cream sauce was so rich and flavorful, and the chicken was perfectly tender. I will definitely be making this again!

    I made this for a dinner party, and everyone raved about it! It was so easy to make, but it tasted like it came from a fancy restaurant. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

    I added some chopped garlic to the shallots for extra flavor, and it turned out great! I also used gluten-free pasta to make it gluten-free friendly.
