  • Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 to 2 pounds total)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
  • Salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup dry marsala wine
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, basil, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken for about 3 minutes per side.
  4. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker, top with mushrooms and minced garlic.
  5. Deglaze the skillet with marsala wine, scraping up the browned bits, and pour over the chicken.
  6. Cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours, or HIGH for 2 to 3 hours.
  7. Remove chicken and whisk cornstarch and water into the sauce. Add cream, adjust seasoning, and return chicken to thicken the sauce on HIGH for 20 minutes.
  8. Serve garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate chicken in the seasoning for 30 minutes before browning.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice to soak up the Marsala sauce.
  • Adjust mushrooms and garlic to your preference.
