Notes
- Storage: Store chicken marsala in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Get your mushrooms nice and brown for more flavor.
- You can use dry or sweet marsala wine in this recipe.
- Your chicken breast pieces should be the same thickness so that they cook evenly. When fully cooked, the chicken should have an internal temperature of 165°F.
