Hello, I am very sorry to say this, but this was the worst recipe for chicken marsala that I have ever made. I really don’t like to be negative, but it was so bad that my dog turned her nose up. I think it was that it was just so bland. I’m really sorry, but I think you need to go back and look at the seasonings. The only way my husband and I got through it was to add a lot of Parmesan and salt. The funny thing is though we are not big salt eaters at all. I never add it to anything. Best of luck and I’m really sorry that I had to post this

Made this tonight for supper and it was delicious! I changed the chicken breast to boneless, skinless thighs. I didn’t have breast meat. It was so good. And my family loved it. I will be definitely make this a regular recipe at my house.
