Note

For best results, use a dry Marsala wine for a richer flavor profile. Cooking Marsala can be substituted if authentic Marsala is unavailable.

If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or water to reach your desired consistency.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to prevent the sauce from breaking.

This dish pairs excellently with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or a side of steamed broccoli to balance the rich sauce.
