We’re down to the final week before Christmas! Amazingly, all of my shopping is finished and I’m feeling pretty relaxed which is not normal for me. Usually I’m running around like a crazy person, stressed out and not enjoying much of anything. I cut way back on the amount of baking and gift buying this year and it totally saved my sanity and has made me actually appreciate the buildup to Christmas.

The only thing left to do is plan Christmas morning breakfast and dinner. This year, it’s just going to be my husband and myself for Christmas, so a huge spread isn’t necessary. I’ve found that unlike Thanksgiving where roasting a turkey is practically a requirement, Christmas is more open to making whatever you want.

While ham, turkey or some kind of fancy cut of beef are great as a main dish for a crowd, it’s a bit much for two people. Last year I roasted a small turkey breast and served a couple side dishes with it, but this year I’m thinking of going a different direction and making this Chicken Marsala Fettuccine.

The classic is delicious on it’s own, but I wanted to take it up a notch and make it extra fancy, yet affordable for the holidays. I also wanted to keep it easy enough that it wouldn’t have me standing in the kitchen for hours. 

The first change I made was to swap the chicken cutlets for a package of Just BARE Organic Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs. They’re an affordable cut of meat and let’s be honest, thighs have a lot more flavor than the breast. They’re also more forgiving and don’t dry out if you cook them a couple minutes longer than you intended.

Compared to brands I’ve used in the past, the quality of their chicken is superior both in the way it’s raised and how it tastes. 

Just BARE chickens are never given antibiotics during any point in their life cycle, ever. They’re fed 100% Organic feed and raised on organic family farms with access to the outdoors. Just BARE is transparent about sharing all the information for their products with consumers, which is something that’s important to me and should be to everyone. Knowing where our food comes from and how it’s raised is so important should be a priority.

It gives the sauce a subtle creamy consistency without being over the top. Pasta is often served on with chicken marsala and in this case it’s a requirement. Top the fettuccine with the luscious, saucy, chicken and mushroom mixture and sprinkle (or make it rain) with the parmesan cheese! It’s the perfect holiday or special occasion dinner!
