I had planned on making a regular chicken marsala for dinner. But, we got 65-degree weather for the first time this spring. So I had to open the grill and thought, "Hmm...why not make the sauce as I would with a regular marsala and then add the grilled chicken?" It was fantastic! This turned out to be more of a deconstructed saltimbocca. I hope you love it as much as the boys and I did.

How To Make grilled chicken marsala and farfalle

  • 1
    Mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and 1/8 tsp of sage in a small bowl. Sprinkle it on both sides of the chicken breasts and set aside.
  • 2
    In a deep saute pan melt 1 Tbsp of butter and 1 Tbsp of olive oil on low heat and add the onions. Saute for several minutes.
  • 3
    Add the garlic, prosciutto, and remaining 1/8 tsp of sage. Cook for a few minutes.
  • 4
    Add the remaining 1 Tbsp of butter and 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Add the mushrooms. Combine and mix until the mushrooms are getting a nice color. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • 5
    Add the flour a little bit at a time to the pan. You want it to thicken the sauce, but not add enough to become a thick sauce.
  • 6
    Cook for a few minutes. Add the chicken stock and Marsala wine.
  • 7
    Allow to simmer and thicken.
  • 8
    While the sauce is simmering, light the grill or grill pan. Cook the chicken at a 10 and 2 angle on the grill to get the great grill marks.
  • 9
    Put a pot of water on to boil the pasta to your liking.
  • 10
    Remove the chicken when cooked and add it to the sauce. Simmer. Flip the chicken in the sauce and remove when the pasta is done.
  • 11
    Remove some sauce and mushrooms to set aside to top the dish.
  • 12
    Drain the pasta. Add it to the sauce and cook to marry the sauce and pasta.
  • 13
    Slice the chicken. Put the pasta on the bottom and the chicken in the sauce. Top with sauce and parsley. I also added some Pecorino Romano cheese.
