  7. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it well with the sauce.

  10. Serve the Chicken Marsala over the bed of Zucchini Noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Tips:
  • Spiralize the zucchini right before cooking to ensure freshness.
  • Always pat the chicken dry before seasoning to achieve a perfect golden brown sear.
  • For added richness, consider adding a tablespoon of unsalted butter to the sauce.
  • While our recipe doesn’t use wine, a splash of lemon juice can introduce a hint of tanginess if desired.
