I'm giving this 5 stars because I made some changes to reduce the fat and some substitutions for ingredients that I didn't have. It was very tasty with my changes (4 stars) but I'm sure if I followed the recipe exactly it would have warranted 5 stars. I used chicken stock instead of the heavy cream and thickened it a little with corn starch at the end and I didn't have marsala so I substituted some white wine and brandy (according to the recipezaar substitution suggestions) instead. Easy and tasty! Thanks for posting!

    Absolutely delicious; I think this is definitely the best chicken recipe I've found here at Zaar. I had almost two lbs of chicken breasts so I used extra crimini mushrooms and doubled the sauce, although I didn't quite double the gorgonzola. I served this to folks who I knew claimed to dislike blue cheese (I kept mum on the presence of the gorgonzola and didn't sprinkle any on top; I also called this merely "Chicken Marsala"), yet I watched as the platter was completely emptied and everyone ate every bite, with pleasure. This recipe is easy enough for a weeknight meal yet perfect for a weekend dinner party as well. I'm going to make this a lot; thanks for sharing the recipe!

    I just made this recipe from Fine Cooking last weekend. It is easy and turned out fantastic! Just a richer version of the classic chicken marsala. Any extra sauce is great to scoop up with some bread...
