CHICKEN MARSALA

This Chicken Marsala recipe rivals any you can get at a restaurant. This is the real deal- and its all to due with the Marsala wine. DON'T SKIMP ON THE WINE. I used to make this with red wine and it tasted alright. With Marsala wine its a whole new ball game. I got a bottle for $5 at my liquor store. Good investment because I love this so much and make it often. I hope it becomes a regular at your table, too.
