I give this recipe a good to high rating because it just tastes good and is realitivly easy to make. I used Cream Sherry as I didn't have any Marsala, and it turned out really good. Broiling the cheese is a really good idea, its adds just a little crunch that makes this dish supurb!

This was AMAZING with a few minor changes. I only used 6 breast halves, but the same amount of the sauce. I sauteed onions and garlic in the same pan after I removed the mushrooms. To the sauce mixture I added dried oregano and thyme and added back the onions and garlic to let it all reduce together. I served with mashed potatoes.

This was delicious ! I used 4 chicken breasts (which when cut and pounded made 8 nice pieces) and left all the other ingredient amounts the same. I subbed fontina for the mozzarella. The chicken comes out so tender and tasty, and I served it on linguini. My husband rated this as a restaurant-quality meal - thank you for sharing.

Made this tonight and one word will describe it. AWSOME! We cut it down for 2 and it was one of the best meals we have had in awhile.

This is an excellent dish. I opted to serve it with roasted potatoes instead of noodles. The combination was very delicious and made a nice presentation on the plate!
