The crazy weather we have been having here lately has been wreaking havoc on my immune system. We went from arctic-like, below zero temperatures one week to Florida-like weather the next week. And the weather is still see-sawing here between rainy spring & snowy winter this week. 

I ended up with a sinus infection over the weekend that quickly morphed into a full-on case of laryngitis. Let me just say that I am glad that I have a job where I work from home & do not have to talk on the phone very often. ;)

Feeling under the weather has me craving some of my favorite comfort foods like the recipe for this Chicken Marsala Noodle Soup I am sharing with you all today. This soup is a classy, flavorful take on my classic homemade chicken noodle soup recipe. It incorporates all the classic flavors of Chicken Marsala- sauteed mushrooms, crispy prosciutto, & rich Marsala wine- into a comforting, cozy soup your entire family will love...

Chicken di Prosciutto

A creamy mushroom-tarragon sauce brimming with crispy prosciutto is served over golden brown panko breaded chicken breasts in this Chicken di Prosciutto dish...

Have you ever had a dish at a restaurant when traveling and immediately think to yourself that you just can't live without this deliciousness until you can make it back this way again? That is exactly what happened to me with my very first bite of the Chicken di Parma at the Kitchen & Bar at Guesthouse Lost River in West Virginia just this past summer! From the lightly breaded, golden brown chicken breasts to the salty prosciutto to the rich mushroom-sage sauce the chef so generously poured over top, I was hooked. 

And I knew it wouldn't be very practical of me to make the 2 1/2 hour drive to the Guesthouse whenever I happen to have a craving for it. So just like any good food blogger, I decided to come up with my own copycat version of their Chicken di Parma that I could make it at home any time. ;)

I changed up the dish I ordered from the inn just a little by chopping up and crisping the prosciutto & then adding it to the cream sauce instead of just laying whole pieces over top of the chicken breasts like the Guesthouse chef had. And I swapped out the sage for dried tarragon in the cream sauce. Although my version isn't exactly like the Chicken di Parma I enjoyed at Guesthouse Lost River, it comes pretty darn close, folks...
