Pleasing to the eyes and nose this Chicken Marsala sits on a bed of pasta and has a creamy rich and slightly zesty gravy drizzled excessively over the entire entree. So tender and easy to cut, forks filled with bites of juicy meat and twists of pasta will be systematically removing the contents of every plate at the table. Enjoy this dish on an evening when you feel like treating yourself to something familiar but worth every bite to try again. The creamy gravy establishes the framework for a delicious meal and has the potential to be cleaned from the plate with your favorite roll or French bread.
