"This recipe is quick and easy to make," shares home cook Craig. "I added sliced onions and halved plum tomatoes. Served over a bed of white rice. Delicious."
"Our new go-to meal!" raves reviewer Kelley. "We could not find Marsala wine so substituted port wine instead - delish! Plus, I added way more mushrooms!"
"I removed the chicken from the pan while making the sauce and added a little half and half to it to make it creamy," says Jillian. "It turned out great - this is a definite keeper!"
