i hesitate to write a review of a recipe that proved unsatisfactory for me....the originating chef thought that the recipe was worthy; who am i to insult them...i never hesitate with an outstanding entry like this...even if i did nothing different and only followed the prescribed steps, the further identification by sheer repetition of positive reinforcement marks for future Zaar readers that this is a must-try... one further note - the wine and broth will thicken without additives if given time and heat in step 12...furthermore, the baking will also thicken the liquid, which should be transferred from the baking dish at plating.

This tastes like it would be served at a very nice restaurant. I have made this twice and it is wonderful! There are only 3 of us, so I use 3 breasts. I salt and peppered the chicken on both sides before dredging in flour. I used more mushrooms (crimini), since we love them. I doubled the sauce with a little cornstarch to thicken. I also added a little chopped fresh thyme to the sauce. Rosemary would also be a good option, but I would definately use fresh herbs on this recipe. I served this with mashed potatoes.

I found this recipe years ago in Southern Living and use it often. It's one of my favorite dishes. My family doesn't like mushrooms, so i go easy with them on their chicken, and then go heavier with them on mine, and have them as myh side dish. i didn't have Marsala, and just used a good, dry red wine.

I picked this recipe at random, simply because I needed a chicken recipe in a hurry, and I picked well. The instructions were very clear and straight forward. I found plastic wrap works equally well for pounding the chickens flat. This recipe matched well with a Zataran's Brown Rice and Wild Mushroom Mix, and a nice white burgundy. My mother has still not stopped talking about what a good job I did and can't wait to come over again for more food. Well done I say, well done.
