Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
  • 1 cup Marsala wine sweet or dry, your choice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasoning and Optional Ingredients
  • to taste Salt and black pepper for seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional, for thickening
  • as needed Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Cooking
  1. Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and top with the sliced mushrooms, garlic, Marsala wine, and chicken broth. Stir gently to combine.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  3. If a thicker sauce is desired, mix cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry and stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Serving
  1. Once the chicken is tender, serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
  2. This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, pasta, or a crisp green salad.

Notes

Substitutions: Use chicken thighs for a richer flavor or substitute Marsala wine with sherry or white wine. Leftovers taste better the next day.
