Tips, Tricks & Storing

Make sure your chicken breasts are even thickness. Pound them gently if needed. This helps them cook evenly.

Use a good quality dry Marsala wine for the best flavor. Sweet Marsala works too, but will give a different taste.

Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. Cook in batches if needed.

Let the sauce simmer and reduce to thicken it up. This concentrates the flavors.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.

You can freeze this dish for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Try serving over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice to soak up the yummy sauce.

For extra flavor, add some minced garlic or fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary.
