Chicken Marsala Gnocchi is a one-pan comfort dish featuring juicy chicken, tender gnocchi, and mushrooms all coated in a creamy Marsala wine sauce. It’s a cozy, restaurant-worthy meal that’s easy enough for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 shallot or small onion, finely chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms (cremini or baby bella), sliced
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine (dry or sweet)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • Optional: Fresh thyme or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then lightly dredge in flour.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Sear chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining butter. Sauté mushrooms, garlic, and shallot until tender and golden, about 5–6 minutes.
  4. Pour in Marsala wine and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and cook for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Meanwhile, cook gnocchi according to package instructions until they float. Drain and add to the skillet.
  8. Slice or shred chicken and return it to the skillet. Simmer 2–3 minutes more to heat through.
  9. Garnish with chopped parsley or thyme and Parmesan if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Use dry Marsala wine for a more traditional savory flavor.To thicken the sauce further, simmer uncovered or use a cornstarch slurry.Store-bought rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver.Skip the cream for a lighter, traditional version.Serve with a green salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
