Slow Cooker Chicken Marsala is a convenient and flavorful twist on the classic Italian dish. Tender chicken breasts are cooked in a rich Marsala wine sauce with earthy mushrooms and aromatic herbs, making it the perfect meal for a comforting dinner with minimal effort.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each piece in flour, shaking off any excess.
  2. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and sauté the garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften and release their moisture.
  4. Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Stir in the thyme and rosemary, then pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  6. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place it on a serving platter. Stir the sauce to combine and pour it over the chicken. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor and texture, add vegetables like carrots, onions, or bell peppers to the slow cooker.Substitute chicken thighs for a richer, juicier option.For a creamier sauce, stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream or half-and-half during the last 30 minutes of cooking.If you don’t want to use Marsala wine, substitute it with dry white wine or grape juice mixed with balsamic vinegar.
