I made this recipe up when I was out of chicken, and it came out pretty good! I enjoy serving it over tortellini.

I didn't read the reviews on this one - I just really like chicken marsala, so I made the recipe. And it was tasty. I did add more salt, to taste. Read More

Boring recipe. I used a whole 10oz package of fresh mushrooms upped the marsala to 1 cup and added about 1/2 cup chopped onion. Even then it wasn't so great. Did seem really salty but that might have been because I used cooking wine rather than regular wine so there was salt added in the wine. I'm up for trying anything once but I don't think I'll put this one on my menu again. Read More

I found this to be rather bland. I served it with white rice; perhaps that didn't help. Read More

After reading the reviews I was scared to try it. But it wasn't that bad though not great either. I'd use this as a base recipe and work from it if I had the time. Read More

I used more mushrooms and some sweet onion. I also added pink salt and peppercorns to it. I used more water to make the sauce thinner and used gluten free mix for the flour. Then I made thick zoodles to top it off. Yum! Read More

Added onion and didn't add flour or water. Also I reduced each by a 1/4 cup on the wine and sherry. I liked the taste of the Marsala and overall it was good. Read More

Added some garlic powder in addition to the fresh garlic. Tasted very alcoholic like it didn't cook off I would use less sherry and Marsala next time - we made it with spaghetti Read More
