Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian-American dish that consists of sautéed chicken breasts that are cooked in a Marsala wine sauce, typically with mushrooms. The dish is named after the Marsala wine that is used to make the sauce.

The dish is typically made by first seasoning and flouring the chicken breasts, then sautéing them in a pan until they are golden brown and cooked through. The mushrooms are then added to the pan and sautéed until softened. Marsala wine and chicken broth are then added to the pan, and the mixture is simmered until the sauce thickens. The cooked chicken is then returned to the pan and spooned with the sauce.

The dish is usually garnished with fresh parsley or other herbs, and it is traditionally served with pasta, polenta, risotto, or roasted vegetables.

Chicken Marsala is considered a classic dish of Italian-American cuisine, although it’s not a traditional dish in Italy. It has become popular in many restaurants and households around the world. Its rich, savory and sweet flavor profile makes it a favorite among many people.
