Excellent start-off recipe!! I actually made 16 breasts (increase the ingredients accordingly) which required me to do the reciped three times. I DID need to slice the breasts in order to have them cooked through. It is CRITICAL that the breasts soak in salted water for about 90 minutes!! For my recipe I also added the following ingredients for the entire tray of Chicken Marsala: 1 3/4 chopped large red onions, 8 containers of portobello mushrooms, 10 bunches of scallions (also called green onions) chopped, and 12 strips of choppped cooked maple bacon. I also needed to add about two tablespoons of gold medal flour to each pan I made to thichen the sauce. I seasoned the sauce with some salt, pepper & a lot of garlic powder. Once all three frying pans worth of food were done, I put all of it into a large serving tray that went into the oven to stay warm. This is the best Chicken Marsala I've ever tasted!!

Dry marsala is used in entres, sweet marsala is used in desserts.

One little trick I use to ensure the chicken stayes juicy and tender is to start cooking it when it is only half thawed. This works very well in most applications even on the BBQ. The cooking time is only slightly longer and when you get the hang of it you can guarantee a very moist chicken breast.

Apparently I used sweet marsala and it was quite bad tasting. I added a can of chicken broth to salvage the meal, but that only made it edible. I don't know if I want to try it again, with dry marsala.

Just wanted to say nice site...love the pictures. I wish there were more in-depth recipe sites like this (or maybe there are)

Keep it strong for all us engineers out there!

But seriously, what is up with that crazy Captcha confirmation code business in the phpBB? You'd get way more comments if you removed the complexity

I did get more comments - a LOT more, and not the variety that you or I would want. At least now, the spammers are more or less manageable. I still have to delete spam comments on a daily basis even with the crazy captcha.

It's awesome to see a different take on a recipe my mom gave me years ago! So far I've found everything on this site very helpful!

I have to say, I was surprised not to see instructions to marinate the chicken in the marsala... is that not a normal thing to do for this dish?
Normally, I marinade the chicken in enough Marsala to cover it and toss in one or two minced garlic cloves.

I will be trying it your way soon, that's for sure!

For those of you looking for decent, inexpensive marsala wines... I usually either get either Columbo or Lombardo (sweet for either) and find they both give great flavor. I don't think I've ever paid more than $8-$10 for either brand.

I've never actually reduced and thickened the sauce though... usually I just make some pasta and marinara to have on the side - I'm sure that's terrible!

Any side dish suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for the recipe. I just found your website, and thrilled to have found it. I had chicken marsala at a local restaurant, and liked the idea, so have been looking for a recipe. You came through for me, and I will use this recipe for guests and husband, alike. I have been buying a cooked version at Costco for a lot of money. No more...thanks to you, I have my own recipe. Keep up the good work, and ignore those who want to nitpick your typos...if they don't harm the recipe, move on. I am a writer, and when I get critical remarks, it is usually from someone who has no idea the energy and time it takes to put together words. I'm learning to not take it personal, so hopefully you know for every critic, you have hundreds of those who appreciate your work, and you.

Thanks for your positive comments, but I just want to say that criticism is a good thing, pointing out typos is a good thing, asking for grammar mistakes to be corrected is a good thing. This is the web, I can update and fix immediately, if there's a thousand eyeballs looking at my work and critiquing it, I can make the necessary adjustments to make the article as good as it can be - certainly the last thing I want to do is ignore nitpickers. (I might not act on the feedback because I understand I can't please everyone, but the information is greatly appreciated. I definitely don't want to be writing in a black hole.)

Your recipe for chicken marsala looks super! Here's my dilemma, I hope you can help me. I want to make this dish for 100 people at home and then transport to another location and serve from chafing dishes. Can I prepare this dish ahead of time and refrigerate...in which case, how do I reheat? Is a chafing dish high powered enough to reheat? I think I need to prepare ahead because I have to have the meal ready for a certain time and want to have it all done so I don't run out of time.
thanks for any guidance ahead of time.

Yes, just make sure it's full defrosted before you start.

I think the photo shows linguine, but these days I use capellini. Just boil four quarts of water, add a tablespoon or more of salt to the water, add the pasta and boil for a couple minutes less than what it says on the packaging. Test the pasta to see if it's "done". (Bite the pasta and see if the inside is still white, if it is then it's not done. If it's cooked through but still chewy inside, it's done. If it's soft all the way through it's overcooked.)

I have a 50 + year old spaghetti meat sauce that is very good and I would like to pass it on here. Where do I post it? It is not a quick make (5 hours) but well worth it. Let me know if you think it would be of interest.

Did Rick2U ever submit/post his recipe? Where might I find it?
