I'm not sure what the previous one star was for, but I thought this was a good basic recipe. I love chicken marsala and this recipe was excellent for a beginner. I added minced garlic, a tiny amount of minced onions, and a few other spices. I kept it fairly simple so as not to overpower the rest of the sauce.
