Chicken Marsala

No ratings yet
Chicken marsala is a classic Italian dish that I’ve been making for years for my family. I learned how to make it from my mother and I’ve also learned a few tricks from my grandmother. I use sweet marsala wine in my chicken marsala, however, dry marsala wine is good too! But the slightly sweet caramel flavor adds a delicious touch! No matter which type of marsala you use, this technique creates the most delicious creamy marsala sauce, tender chicken! Let’s make it!
