Chicken Marsala




I had a frozen box dinner put out by Bertolli, Chicken Marsala. It is delicious and of course I wanted to find a way to make this same dish, or at the very least as close to the same dish as possible. I had come across a recipe and tried it only to dislike what I had made. It didn't look or taste anything close to the box dinner. It got me thinking as to what was actually in the Marsala sauce. As it turns out it's beef broth, go figure!

For this recipe I used the one I found on The Food Network, http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/marsala-sauce-recipe.html We do not like onions so I didn't add them but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. For the chicken part I used boneless, skinless chicken thigh strips cooked in olive oil on the stove seasoned to taste. Drained, and then added the Marsala gravy I cooked up prior to cooking the chicken. I cooked it til the gravy and chicken were heated up. You can serve this over rice, or even do up mashed potatoes and a veggie, or however you like.
