Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 6 ounces button mushrooms, sliced

  • ¾ cup Marsala wine, or more as needed, divided

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

  • ¾ cup heavy cream

  • ½ teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

  • ¼ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

  • 1 (12 ounce) package uncooked linguine pasta

Directions

  1. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season chicken with salt and black pepper; add to the skillet. Cook until cooked halfway and golden brown on both sides, 4 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Reserve drippings in the skillet; set aside.

  2. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; sauté. Stir in 1/4 cup Marsala; reduce over low heat for 5 minutes. Set mushrooms aside; keep warm.

  3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  4. Stir cream of chicken soup and cream of mushroom soup into reserved chicken drippings, mixing well, making sure no lumps remain. Slowly stir in cream, stirring constantly, then add remaining 1/2 cup Marsala (adjust sauce consistency by adding more or less Marsala). Season with rosemary and thyme; simmer over medium heat until bubbly, then stir in reserved mushroom mixture. Pour soup mixture over chicken in baking dish, cover.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes.

  6. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes; drain. Serve chicken breasts and sauce over linguine.
