Delicious Chicken Marsala Pasta Cups

These pasta cups are filled with a savory mixture of sautéed chicken, mushrooms, and a Marsala wine sauce, all baked in crispy pasta shells. The recipe takes about 50 minutes from start to finish and serves 6 people.

Ingredients

8 ounces of pasta shells
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup Marsala wine
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Cook the Pasta: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Cook Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Add Sauce Ingredients: Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth. Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well. Remove from heat and stir in half of the mozzarella cheese.
Assemble Cups: Lightly grease a muffin tin. Fill each pasta shell with the chicken mixture and place in the muffin tin. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve: Let cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
