Simple Crockpot Chicken Marsala

Looking for a delicious meal that’ll feed your whole family and that you won’t have to spend hours slaving over?  If you’ve got a crockpot, I highly suggest checking out this delicious recipe for Chicken Marsala.  I popped this in my crockpot yesterday morning before work and by the time I got home, dinner was made!

Ingredients:

• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 8 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 jars (6 oz each) sliced mushrooms, drained
• 1 cup sweet Marsala wine or chicken broth
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup cornstarch (or you can use flour like I did)
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or you can use dried parsley like I did)

Directions:

1. Spray crockpot with cooking spray. In crockpot, place garlic and oil. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; place in cooker over garlic. Place mushrooms over chicken; pour wine over all.
2. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 5 to 6 hours.
3. Remove chicken from cooker leaving the mushrooms and liquid in.  Place chicken on a plate.
4. In small bowl, mix water and cornstarch or flour until smooth and then stir into the liquid you left in the crockpot. Increase the heat setting to high; cover and cook about 10 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened. (If you like your sauce a little more on the thick side, you can also remove the mushrooms and liquid and put in a saucepan.  Bring to a boil and then add the cornstarch or flour/water and cook as you would to make gravy.)
5. Return chicken to crockpot. Cover and cook on high heat setting 5 minutes longer or until chicken is hot.
6. To serve, spoon mushroom mixture over chicken breasts; sprinkle with parsley and serve on a bed of rice if you’d like.
