Chicken Marsala

chicken marsala

Chicken Marsala, a classic dish but too often at a restaurant the sauce leaves me feeling ripped off.  Bland.  Sorry but there is nothing worse than a wasted restaurant meal.  You know what I am talking about.  When  you order the wrong thing and it stinks which in most cases your companion ordered the right thing………you know what I am talking about!

Anyway, I digress.  When  I saw this recipe I knew the sauce would be great as it has prosciutto in it.  Salty, smoky prosciutto.  The only change I made was to add shallots.  I cannot seem to make a recipe without some type of onion in it, sorry.  I will say the amount of sauce this made was better for 2, than 4, so next time I will probably double the sauce.  If you do double, just remember it will take longer to reduce.  I served mine on a tiny bit of spaghetti.  Delish!
