Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pappardelle and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain.
  2. Dredge the Chicken: In a bowl, mix flour, oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken thighs in the mixture.
  3. Brown the Chicken: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and keep warm.
  4. Sauté the Vegetables: Add mushrooms and shallots to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until mushrooms are golden and shallots are translucent.
  5. Make the Sauce: Pour in Marsala wine, sherry vinegar, and balsamic vinegar. Simmer for 3-5 minutes to reduce.
  6. Combine Everything: Return chicken to the skillet. Simmer for another 5 minutes, then add the cooked pasta and a splash of reserved pasta water.
  7. Final Touches: Add grated Parmigiano Reggiano and toss until the cheese melts into the sauce. Adjust consistency with more pasta water as needed.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Plate the pasta and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
