Today I’m stepping away from a new recipe and going back to the basics with this classic Chicken Marsala dish. It still amazes me how I can have hundreds of recipes and yet I still happen to miss the basic dishes that everyone loves to eat. Now I’ve eaten Chicken Marsala numerous times but I’ve never really made it on my own.
After checking out many recipes online I finally found one with amazing reviews at Saveur. I made minor changes to the recipe because sometimes a recipe just needs to be eaten as is with out major changes, or at least that is my philosophy on true classics like this recipe.
It was an easy dish to prepare and something that my family will enjoy for future meals. You can also serve this along side a fresh garden salad, pasta noodles or zucchini noodles like we did for our Italian evening at home. The only thing really missing for me was a nice glass of dry red wine to accompany the meal. Don’t fret because I plan on making this again and serving it up with that wine and some homemade French bread to soak up the remaining sauce from the Chicken Marsala.
Now it’s time to break out the chicken breasts and get ready to make a meal that your family will remember.
