Chicken with Marsala and Tagliatelle

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup shallots, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup Marsala wine
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 12 oz tagliatelle pasta

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 200°F.
2. Pound the chicken breasts between plastic wrap to flatten to about 1/2 inch thick.
3. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper. Coat each chicken breast lightly in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
4. In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to an oven-safe dish and keep warm in the oven.
5. Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 1-2 minutes.
6. Next, pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it starts to thicken.
7. Add the heavy cream and parsley to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens even more, about 3-4 minutes.
8. While the sauce is cooking, cook the tagliatelle pasta according to package instructions.
9. To serve, divide the pasta onto plates, top each serving with a chicken breast, and spoon the Marsala sauce over the chicken and pasta.
