Tips:

  • To make the chicken extra tender, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Be sure to use dry Marsala wine for this recipe. Sweet Marsala will make the sauce too sweet.
  • If you don't have Marsala wine on hand, you can substitute a combination of dry white wine and brandy.
  • To make sure the sauce is smooth, whisk in the butter a little at a time until it is completely melted.
  • Serve the chicken marsala over your favorite pasta, such as spaghetti, fettuccine, or linguine.
