the BEST chicken marsala

This is my personal favorite. It's one that I will order from a restaurant if I get the chance, but let's be honest I don't go to restaurants that serve this meal. We have 4 boys...so I decided that I should master it myself & it tastes better than any chicken marsala I have ordered at any restaurant :)

It's a great, more fancy meal. So if you want to have a little date night in, this would be a good one to try. If I am making this for my entire crew, I will leave out the marsala wine and just add extra chicken broth. My kiddos don't like the marsala wine flavor. But honestly either way...ITS DELICIOUS!
