Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth, divided

  • 12 ounces cremini mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced (about 4 cups)

  • ½ cup chopped shallots

  • cup dry Marsala

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

  • 4 (6 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

  1. Whisk flour and 1/2 cup broth in a small bowl until smooth. Combine the flour mixture, mushrooms, shallots, Marsala, thyme and the remaining 1/2 cup broth in a 6-quart slow cooker. Arrange chicken in a single layer in the slow cooker; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on Low until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, 3 hours to 3 hours, 30 minutes.

  2. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Serve the chicken over the pasta. Top with the Marsala sauce and sprinkle with parsley.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
