Ingredients

  • hicken Breasts: 2 about 1 lb or 450 grams
  • Zucchini: 4 medium-sized 2 lbs or 900 grams (spiralized into noodles)
  • Mushrooms: 1 cup 8 oz or 225 grams (sliced)
  • Chicken Broth: 1 cup 240 ml
  • Garlic Cloves: 3 minced
  • Olive Oil: 2 tbsp 30 ml
  • Cornstarch: 1 tbsp mixed with 2 tbsp or 30 ml of water
  • Salt: to taste
  • Black Pepper: to taste
  • Fresh Parsley: a handful chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until it’s golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add a tad more oil if needed. Toss in the minced garlic and stir for a minute or until aromatic.
  • Add the mushrooms. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they release their juices and start to brown.
  • Pour in the chicken broth. Let it simmer and reduce by half.
  • Whisk in the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it well with the sauce.
  • In another pan, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles for 2-3 minutes, ensuring they remain al dente.
  • 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.
