Love this recipe?so easy to make even midweek after working all day!!! I am reviewing this even BEFORE I sit down to eat with my family. Sugarpea, thanks for posting it!! -
What a great recipe! Served it to some friends the other night and they loved it. I have made this dish twice and the last time I cut back on the lemon juice to just a tsp. Plus I added a touch of flour at the end to help lightly thicken the sauce. Other than that it was all original. The sauce has a wonderful flavor and it really comes together nicely with the chicken and mushrooms. This recipe is definitely on my A-list. Thanks for sharing!! -
Loved it! Made as directed. Will be on the "frequent flyer" list. -
I added a cup of beef stock with the wine to cut the strong flavor of the wine and it turned out delicious. This is my favorite chicken dish and I have made it at least half a dozen times. Thanks for posting it! -

Great recipe! I added 1/4 tsp dried oregano to the flour,salt and pepper mixture. Also, I only had dry marsala wine on hand, so used 1/2 cup of that plus 1/4 cup cream sherry. For step #3 I sauteed the mushrooms in a little olive oil instead of butter. This is definitely a keeper! Thank you.

This recipe is wonderful! I used veal scallopine instead of chicken breasts and it is a big improvement over the recipe I had been using. I used additional olive oil instead of butter after discovering all of my butter was in the freezer, but it still came out well. DH and I especially liked the addition of mushrooms to the sauce.

I’m a former interior designer and landscape designer. At the moment I get to enjoy being at home and working only when I want to. I like rollerblading, hiking, backpacking and trips to the ocean. I grew up on a farm in the Midwest and moved to the Northwest when I was thirty, over twenty years ago. I’m afraid they’ll have to bury me here in WA. This is God’s country and I’m never leaving.
I have a smallish collection of cookbooks, preferring to use the library and a copy machine. Among my favorites though, are: Recipes 1-2-3, by Rozanne Gold, a collection of recipes containing no more than 3 ingredients (excepting water, salt and pepper); A Treasury of Great Recipes, by Mary and Vincent Price, recipes collected from friends and chefs of great restaurants around the world; The Mediterranean Diet Cookbook, by Nancy Harmon Jenkins, about a collection of cuisines I’m convinced are the healthiest in the world and The Low-Calorie Gourmet, by Pierre Franey.
Currently my passions are our dogs, the garden, cooking, the natural world and of course, Dh. I can now add Zaar to that list of passions (translate: addiction). We have three dogs, two rescued and one adopted. They are Sugarpea, a Golden Retriever, Chickpea, a Llasa Apso and Sweetpea, a Shih Tzu; small, medium and large. We’re quite a sight out on the trail. One of the things I am most fond of about living here is the ability to vegetable garden year ‘round.
