Slow Cooker Chicken Marsala


👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep the Chicken:

  • Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Optional: Lightly brown the chicken in a skillet with butter or olive oil for 2–3 minutes per side for extra flavor.

2. Assemble in the Slow Cooker:

  • Place sliced mushrooms, onion, and garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Lay the chicken on top.
  • Pour in Marsala wine and chicken broth.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 2½–3½ hours, until chicken is tender.

3. Finish the Sauce:

  • In the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir in the heavy cream.
  • Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then stir into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.
  • Let it cook for the remaining 30 minutes until the sauce is creamy and slightly thickened.

4. Serve:

  • Garnish with fresh parsley.
  • Serve over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or steamed rice.

🍷 Tip:

Marsala wine is key to the flavor — try to use a dry Marsala (not sweet) for best results. Leftovers reheat beautifully the next day!
