Creamy Chicken Marsala
Creamy Chicken Marsala
A few weeks ago, on one of the first really crisp fall nights, we met up with some friends at a quaint little Italian spot in Broad Ripple Village. The tables filled quickly as we browsed the menu and sipped our wine. Bill ordered chicken Marsala, one of their specialties. He happily let me eat all his delicious, wine soaked mushrooms. You may remember he has a faux allergy to what he calls fungus. I’ve heard his “I’m deathly allergic”ย response so many times over the years. Always said with a smirk to get out of eating foods he detests.
But I digress. I knew I’d have to recreate this dish at home. Ambrosia’s version did not contain cream, but the addition created a lovely richness to the sauce. This elegant entree is equally as appropriate for a weeknight meal as it is for a dinner party. So much depth of flavor layered with each step of this recipe. Reducing the chicken broth, the addition of fresh herbs, the Marsala (did you know wine was a flavor enhancer?) all are key in making one outstanding entree.

I made this today. SO good! It won’t be the last time I make it, either. The boychild ate quite a bit of it, which for something totally new is pretty good! I know with time he’ll lap this up too.

This looks amazing! I have only had chicken marsala once…and at a restaurant…but it didn’t look as good as yours!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Always love your photos! This looks great…I love chicken marsala.
Definitely an elegant entree, and so delicious! I always say I will try to make it, but still have not. I may need to try to make soon now:-) Hugs, Terra
I’ve ordered chicken marsala in restaurants many times but until last week did not even attempt to make it. Since discovering the ease to complete this dish at home, I doubt I’ll order it again from a restaurant. Your recipe looks lovely and you chicken marsala looks delicious
Surprisingly, I’ve never had Chicken Marsala before! I should totally try your recipe out though – it sounds good!
Happy Thanksgiving!
That looks delicious–this is one of those classic Italian dishes that I’ve never prepared.
I love these simple comfort dishes – thanks for sharing this recipe, I’ve actually never made this myself!
One of my favorites, seems a little light on the Marsala to me though, lol. If I don’t get another chance to sit down this week, just wanted to wish you Happy Thanksgiving.

Yum! I ate out with my Dad on the weekend and he chose this from the menu! I’ll definitely have to make it from your recipe for him soon. I love trying to recreate dishes from restaurants at home, sometimes takes a few tweaks before they seem right though. Thanks for the recipe Lizzy!
I’m a huge chicken marsala lover! This version look incredible! (My husband would have been passing my his mushrooms too….mmm!)
I always love reading a recipe like this and being able to taste the flavors in my mouth/mind. damn…now I’m hungry.
Happy Turkey Day!
This is really lovely. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with yummy food and love!
This is one of my all time favorite Italian dishes. Looks wonderful! I wish my family liked it more so I could eat it at home! Maybe if I didn’t put mushrooms on hubby’s plate he wouldn’t mind.
what an absolutely delicious looking dish. Do you know I have yet to actually do chicken marsala. I always do my own version of it in some fashion but I need to actually do the real thing. It looks too good
I love chicken masala dear Lizzy and this look , we make a lot of chicken, dear Happy thanksgiving if we dont talk!:)
I am not sure on this chicken dish Lizzy and also the wine you have mentioned, so will try with the rest of the ingredients. I like this one for a change then all the baking recipes, looks tempting.
You said it perfectly: wine-soaked mushrooms. Mushrooms are so delicious, especially when soaked in marsala…my favorite way to eat them. This sounds like a wonderful recipe, Liz! Happy Thanksgiving!
Yummy…my latest fav ๐
I tried chicken marsala for the first time this year. (Was it this year or last year?) Anyway it’s quite impressive! I’m grateful that I have this recipe to fall back on when I need to make it!
looks tasty ๐
Oh your hubby is a sweetie to part with the wine-soaked mushrooms. I am definitely trying this dish. I love that it is so simple and yet fabulous enough for a dinner party. Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving, Lizzy.
My hubbys favorite is this dish, yours looks fabulous he never leaves any behind for leftovers, I think he can eat this everyday if he can. I have to say his favorite sauce is Carrabas, not sure you have that there, I have tried to copy that sauce many times but they get the marsala from Sicily imported, what a taste its amazing. I never have been able to duplicate it. Have a great Thanksgiving, he would choose this over Turkey anyday ๐
That skinny chick can cook too:) I have never tried chicken marsala, would love to.
I made this on Sunday and the family loved it. Yours looks great!
I hope you and your family have a lovely Thanksgiving, Lizzy!
What a gorgeous dish! This looks amazing! I have always been a fan of chicken marsala. However, I feel like I never have it unless I am at a wedding haha. Now I have a recipe to try it!
This sounds and looks delicious, how kind of your honey to share his shrooms with you.
