Chicken Mascarpone Marsala
I’ve been trying to cut back on my sugar & that explains my recent posts on savory dishes. Fortunately, it’s a great time to catch up on some savory posts that I have on my list of things to blog. I’ve been wanting to do a Chicken Marsala dish for awhile & upon research I found a Giada recipe that has mascarpone cheese in the sauce. I was immediately sold!!! Oh, how I love mascarpone cheese! It’s like butter & heavy cream together! I’ve only used them on desserts & since I can’t have dessert, I might as well throw it into my lunch!
Every time I make a Giada recipe, I’m always surprised at how authentic it tastes. I’ve tried making Italian dishes so many times & it always ended up tasting inferior (& much more expensive) to a restaurant dish. This Chicken Marsala definitely doesn’t disappoint! The only thing I would change about this recipe is I would double the sauce! The sauce is very tasty & tastes so good on spaghetti, fettucine, & even rice! The mushrooms & chicken soaked up most of the sauce that I was left wanting more of it! In fact, since I have more than half a bottle of Marsala wine left I think I’m gonna pick up another tub of mascarpone & make more sauce for the leftovers!
RECIPE ADAPTED FROM GIADA De LAURENTIIS – CHICKEN WITH MUSTARD MASCARPONE MARSALA SAUCE
Nicely done! Those mushrooms are making me hungry.
thanks james! nice seeing you on here!
Thank you for this recipe. It’s going in my March recipes to make.
I had Chicken Marsala for the very first time last week and I was so pleasantly surprised! The presentation in the one I had was sad and very disappointing while yours is worthy of being framed. The next to last photo is my point of view as I am crouched and ready to pounce on my prey! Making Chicken Marsala mine aaaaall mine!
you crack me up with every one of your comments. I haven’t ordered chicken marsala in a very long time. I was actuall disappointed that this wasn’t “burgundy” in color… but the fact that there is a whole tub of mascarpone in it makes me go color blind & full on depend on my sense of taste!
This recipe sounds great and we are going to have to try it! I love your pictures, specially the one with the food at the end of the fork and your nests of noodles! Thank you for making me hungry again at ten pm!!!
yanick – when u guys make the dish, I think you should double the sauce. it’s oh so good!
That looks scrumptious!
Love your photography too… Great blog!
