How to Make Crock Pot Chicken Marsala

Step 1 – Put the chicken, garlic, marsala cooking wine, chicken broth and mushrooms in the slow cooker. I told you it was simple!

Step 2 – Let the crock pot do all of the work. Cook on low for 5 hours and be prepared for the best dinner! The meat will be so tender. Take the Chicken out of the slow cooker.

Step 3 – Get out a small bowl and whisk together the water and cornstarch. Once combined, pour this into the slow cooker and stir everything together.

Step 4 – Put the chicken back in the mixture. Turn the crock pot to high and let this cook for another 30 minutes. You want the sauce to thicken.

Step 5 – Add the heavy cream right before serving for a creamy marsala wine sauce.

Step 6 – Make sure it is well combined and enjoy. It is really that simple to make this delicious meal for your family. We like to garnish with fresh parsley before serving this crock pot recipe.

Pro Tips

• Liners – I also like to use crock pot liners to make clean up a breeze. These are worth every penny and save a ton of time. I think they are definitely worth it.
• Heavy – Add dairy only at the end to avoid curdling.
• Sauce Consistency – For thicker sauce, leave lid ajar the last 20 minutes or add a touch more slurry.

Variations Ideas

• Change Chicken – Try making Slow Cooker Chicken Marsala with Thighs. You can easily substitute thighs for the chicken breasts.
• Short on ingredients? Try using a can of cream of mushroom soup to make this tasty chicken. Never underestimate a woman with a can of “cream of something” soup.
• Keto Friendly – You can make Crock Pot Chicken Marsala keto friendly and low carb! Simply omit the pasta, mashed potatoes or noodles and this dish becomes keto friendly. This is a great way to enjoy the same meal as your family without cooking a bunch of various meals.
• Bacon – We love adding in 3 slices of chopped bacon for a great combination with the creamy mushroom base.

Serving ideas

• We like to serve this delicious meal over pasta. You can use any variety. We have used everything from egg noodles and fettuccine to elbow noodles.
• Throw in a simple side salad and you have a great meal. You know we like to keep it easy. A side of Roasted Cauliflower or Parmesan Roasted Broccoli also makes a great side.
• Don’t forget the bread for dipping into that sauce. Yum! We love these Easy Homemade Dinner Rolls or you can pick up something from the bakery.
