Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Marsala
In college I made Chicken Marsala again and again for roommates. After years without making it, I updated the classic into a simpler slow cooker version. This low-carb slow cooker Chicken Marsala is rich, hearty, full of flavor, and very easy to prepare.
Tips For Perfect Slow Cooker Marsala
The recipe is basically dump-and-cook, but a few simple steps will improve texture and flavor.
– Brown the chicken.
Although the recipe works without browning, searing chicken breasts first (in 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes per side until golden but not cooked through) adds depth and a richer flavor.
– Brown the mushrooms.
Sauté mushrooms briefly in butter to caramelize them before adding to the slow cooker. This enhances their taste significantly.
– Whisk the sauce well before finishing.
When adding the cream, remove the chicken and whisk the sauce thoroughly to blend it smoothly. Vigorous whisking helps prevent the cream from separating and yields a silkier sauce. This step is optional but recommended for the best texture.
