Chicken Marsala

This Chicken Marsala easy recipe is prepared with Marsala wine, chicken broth, shallots and mushrooms. The combination of flavors is wonderful. Quick and simple with a gourmet appeal.

You can buy this type of wine sweet or dry, either will work but sweet adds a nice balance to the shallots. Marsala wine is a popular cooking ingredient in many Italian dishes. Replace chicken with veal and you have a traditional Italian dish, Veal Marsala.

I like to serve this with roasted potatoes and mixed greens salad. When you serve this to your dinner guests they will think you spent hours preparing this dish. You will know it only took you 60 minutes, from start to finish, making this delicious delight!
