This slow-cooker chicken Marsala recipe gets its full flavor from plenty of mushrooms and fragrant shallots. Whole-wheat pasta soaks up the rich sauce. Round it out with a simple green salad for a comforting healthy dinner.

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
⅓ 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

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.
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.)
