Slow cooker chicken Marsala turns a classic recipe into an easy dinner

Slow cookers don’t always get the credit they deserve, and oftentimes I forget I have mine tucked way beneath the counter. But I love chicken Marsala and wanted to create a hassle-free, weeknight-friendly version that is basically foolproof and mess-free too.

So break out the slow cooker, and whip up this elegant dish without the headache. Chicken Marsala can be an easy weeknight dinner.

Chicken breast is added to the slow cooker with fresh mushrooms and garlic in a Marsala wine-based sauce. The chicken is juicy and tender and goes perfectly with mashed potatoes, green veggies or even a salad.

You can prep all the ingredients the night before and set the slow cooker in the morning before work to have a nice, hot supper waiting for you when you get home.
