Chicken Marsala Pasta


Chicken Marsala is one of my go to dishes. I always serve bread with it to soak up all the sauce on the plate. I was running out of bread the other day but didn't want to waste the sauce either. My solution was to use it as a pasta sauce. I cut the chicken into bite size pieces. It's quicker to cook, and no knife is necessary while eating!
