Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 8 ounces Baby Bella mushrooms (sliced)
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Marsala wine
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
Dredge the chicken breasts in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
Place the seared chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker in a single layer.
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms soften slightly. Add this mixture to the slow cooker on top of the chicken.
Pour the chicken broth and Marsala wine over the chicken and mushrooms in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once done, remove the chicken breasts and set them aside. Stir in the heavy cream to the sauce in the slow cooker until fully combined.
Return the chicken breasts to the slow cooker, coating them with the creamy Marsala sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice.
