Chicken Marsala
It seems that I have really been into chicken these last few weeks and when I made the pan seared chicken breasts in a mushroom, tarragon and mustard pan sauce the other day it reminded me of another chicken and mushroom dish that I had not made in a long time, chicken marsala. Chicken marsala is a quick and tasty dish where the chicken is sauteed in a pan and then the Marsala, an Italian fortified wine, is used along with mushrooms to make a pan sauce to go with the chicken. Pan sauces are so easy to make and always full of flavour and this one is no different coming together in no time at all!
I served the chicken marsala over pasta but it is also good over rice or mashed potatoes or even just by itself along with a salad or some vegetables.

Lovely photo which has me drooling. I love the notion of Chicken Marsala and, since this is the last week of Presto Pasta Nights, I'm naturally drawn to the pasta below. A perfect option this week rather than rice. Thanks for sharing.
Hi I was wondering, when you say Marsala, do you mean the Marsala wine or something else. I was trying to shop for the ingredients this morning and I couldn't find any cup written Marsala on it :(
Thank you

Thank you for this recipe! My mother is searching for one that does not call for dredging the chicken in flour.
Tonight's the night I finally crack the seal on the Marsala I've had under the sink for ages!
This sounds like such a flavourful dish full of mushroom-y goodness! I always love a good pasta for dinner...thanks for sharing!!

I tried to find Marsala wine the other day and the grocery didn't have it. Is it known by any other name, or should it be available at any liquor store?
This is one of my favorite dishes but I've never been brave enough to try and make it. Maybe it's time for me to face my fears? I think it will be worth it :) Great pics and post!
This looks awesome and delicious!

dayuntoday: You should be able to find marsala at a store that carries Italian wines. A liquor store would probably be your best bet.
Thom Hoffman: You should be able to find marsala at a store that carries Italian wines. A liquor store would probably be your best bet.
Jessy Nyiri: Yes, marsala wine. You should be able to get it at a liquor store that carries Italian wines.
When you say Marsala, do you mean sweet or dry?
Maxine: I prefer to use dry and I think that is the more traditional way to go but a lot of people do prefer to use sweet so you could go either way.
I have never ejaculated so hard in my life.
I had a hard time finding Marsala but it should be with other cooking wines. I finally found at Winco so might try there or Hannaford's. I had to ask 3 different people and no one seemed to know what it was lol. I am trying this tonight!!
I made this tonight for dinner and definitely a keeper. Very yummy. I didn't have enough mushrooms though so can't wait to make again with more mushrooms.
I am going to try this tomorrow night...I love chicken and I love mushrooms...I think my family will be happy. I will havee to double the recipe. I was going to do it over angle hair pasta and serve a small salad with it!! So excited!!!
I love chicken marsala and this picture makes me want to have some so I am going to make it tonight! :)
