Mmmmm.mmm.mm. Just perfect! I made this on a particularly un-inspired Sunday for my boyfriend and I, and it turned out to be so easy and so much better than I had anticipated! I had to use red wine instead of Marsala, but I also added some balsamic vinegar in with the wine and found that it added some of that missing sweetness that the Marsala usually has! SOOOO delicious. Thank you!

Judging from the comments here and my boyfriend’s reaction, I’d say this recipe has a special effect on men! I cook a nice meal for us once a week, and he declared this one his favorite so far–or at least tired with the Esquire meatball recipe. I probably cooked off a bit too much of the liquid at the end, but it was still delicious.

Well, OMG. Used a tawny port (had it on hand) instead of the marsala. Served with thick, old-fashioned egg noodles and petit pois. I don’t know how you only want to make a dish like this once a year. Alex wins. Thanks for the incredible recipe!

YUM. Served this with Garlic bread, slathered in a garlic/butter/parsley mix and broiled. Pretty excited for lunch today: A hoagie sandwhich made with the leftover garlic bread, chicken marsala AND, wait for it… melted swiss. Never been so excited to eat lunch at my desk…

This was hands down the best chicken marsala I have ever tasted. Thank you for this blog- you’re an amazing cook!

I made this recipe for dinner this evening and it was fantastic, as are all of the recipes that I’ve made from this site. I had to use Merlot, and the flavor was great. Your blog is turning me into a great cook. Thanks for the inspiration.

Used sherry instead of Marsala and it was very tasty, both my wife and two year old daughter enjoyed this very much. Great recipe.

The wine guy said substitutions like sherry or port are fine (tasty).. but the flavor profiles are different. I bought the Marsala as he recommended and I am very happy. Major flavor here!

Hi Deb,
In lack of Marsala wine (I just can’t find it around here), what would you suggest as a substitute? Would Port wine do?
Thanks!

I made this last night and it was fantastic! Served it over pasta (I am in Italy, so I felt I had to), and it was a delicious meal. My husband could not get over how moist the chicken was.
