How to Make Chicken Marsala

Marsala is used in different dishes in both of its forms: dried as well as liquid. The dry form enhances the taste of a dish, whereas the liquid, for its being sweet, makes a great combination for desserts. Many prefer adding sherry instead of Marsala in desserts.

  • Types of mushrooms used can be button, or any other.
  • You can flour the chicken pieces before putting them for frying.

  • Balsamic glaze or oregano also adds up to a different taste. It’s a good variation in taste.
  • The pouring of the vegetable and sauce should be just above the edge of the chicken pieces, but not completely submerging them.
  • You can combine 1 tsp. each of dried thyme, cayenne pepper, onion powder, dried oregano leaf and black pepper to 2 tsp. each of salt and garlic powder and 2 ½ tsp. of paprika.
  • Blend them thoroughly and store the mixture in an airtight-container. You can serve it with a truly delectable dish of chicken Marsala.
