I liked this, but be careful of the salt. The proscuitto has some and the chicken broth, so next time I would not salt the chicken.

Delectable! I am always on the hunt for new and interesting chicken recipes, as we usually eat chicken once a week. I did double the sauce (and thickened it with corn starch mixed with water) so my partner and I could spoon it over our cheesy polenta. Easy enough to prepare during the busy work week and elegant enough to serve to guests. Thanks for sharing this winner!

These were excellent! They looked beautiful with the red and green and tasted amazing! I followed the recipe exactly, except I had no marsala wine, so just used good ole white wine from the fridge. Thanks for this one!
