Chicken Marsala photo of finished dish not available
Veal and chicken dishes made with Marsala sauce are favorites of mine at restaurants. I almost never shop for wine simply for the purpose of making a dish, but this might be the exception. However, using some red wine from an already opened bottle is not a bad compromise. Ideally I would serve this with some bread, mashed potatoes, sauted greens, or glazed carrots for total comfort meal.
