I would like to prepare this before company arrives. Can I make it a few hours before and reheat it. -
I haven't tried this recipe yet but wouldn't it make sense to add about a half cup of chicken broth? Seems the marsala and cream sherry would be a but intense. Thanks

Has anyone tried baking this recipe in lieu of pan frying? TYIA -
Can I use cabernet souvenir instead of marsala

Nothing I could say would express the words for this wonderfully delightul dish. It was absolutely FABULOUS!!! From the smell to the very first bite in my and my hubby's mouth was absolutely BREATH TAKING. I must say, that my hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed it, as did my 17 month old son. This is something I will be keeping in my TOP 10 Recipes for SPECIAL OCCASSIONS. Wonderfully excellent job on making and sharing this dish. KUDOS, to you!!! -
So Yummy! This is great for a quiet evening and candlelight, but kids love it too! It is so easy to make and it presents so beautifully you'll fool everyone into thinking you've been in the kitchen all day! -
This dish was wonderful! I exchanged the "cream sherry" for "cooking sherry" due to the availability of what I had and it turned out great!

Only thing I would do is make more sauce - Wonderful over orzo. -
Absolutely WONDERFUL! I substituted veal for the chicken and had nothing but great comments from my guests, including my mother, who orders veal marsala everywhere she goes and said it was definetly the best she has ever tasted. My husband wished there was more because he said he just couldn't get enough of it. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I use thyme instead of oregano, cover chicken pieces generously with Monterey jack cheese when dish has completed cooking and allow it to melt before serving. I love this with cubed baked carrots, potatoes and onions doctored with olive oil and rosemary. It's a lovely complement to the chicken with thyme.

Wow! I made this last night and it tasted like I brought it home from a restaurant. It could not have been more moist, tender or flavorful. I followed the recipe except I used ICBNB instead of butter and I omitted the cooking sherry (I'm not a big fan) and instead used 3/4 cup of the marsala wine. It was so good that my daughter who "doesn't eat chicken anymore" had two servings! The recipe was easy as well. I made a huge platter and I'm looking forward to the left-overs tonight.

This dish turned out perfectly. However, I used cornstarch instead of flour because I have allergies to wheat. I also used boneless chicken thighs because that is what I had at home. I tenderized the chicken thighs with a mallet before I coated them in the cornstarch and spice mixture. Everyone loves the dish. 2 thumbs up. -
I have been in search of a good chicken Marsala recipe and I have finally found it! Thank you!! The reviews of this recipe are great as well and helped me to try this recipe. I didn't have sherry cream so I googled what a good substitute would be since I had dry sherry and it said to heat the dry sherry with 1 tsp of brown sugar. It came out so delicious!
