Great basic recipe, but I did it a little differently. I use butter with fresh chopped sage to brown the chicken. I use shallots instead of onion - and I chop it on the cutting board that has the flour from chicken dredging on it, so the shallots get a dusting with flour (then I don't need any flour later to thicken the sauce). I use twice the butter/broth/dry marsala so I get plenty of it for rice later. The Sage Brown Butter really adds a distinctive taste that I will always use with chicken marsala. This is a great recipe for leftovers.Reply

My DH and I love this recipe! I make a few minor changes. Since we love mushrooms I add between 1 1/2 - 2 lbs. I triple the broth and marsala and dont let it boil down too much. I also add a bit of cornstarch to thicken it up. The kids like the chicken and gravy but could do without the mushrooms.Reply

This recipe was soooo good. This was my first try at making chicken marsala and to be honest, my expectations were not very high. I have enjoyed this dish at restaurants often, but didn't think I could do it justice at home. Well, now I know that it can be even better! I made 1 1/2 times the sauce to be sure and have enough and did thicken it a bit at the end with some Wondra flour. I also added a little browning sauce for color. It turned out fabulous and I will definately make again. Thanks for posting this great recipe!Reply
