Creamy Chicken Marsala

quixoposto's Note:

The difference between this marsala and the others is the cream. Really simple, really good. Great for company, but quick to fix. source: 365 ways to cook chicken

I made this for the Aussie/Kiwi Recipe Swap #34. This was delicious and quick to put together. My DH especially liked it!

Chicken marsala is one of my favorite meals and this is by far my favorite recipe. It's so easy to make yet its impressive enough to serve to dinner guests who always ask for the recipe. I like to serve it over garlic mashed potatoes. Simply devine!
