    This looks absolutely delicious. I had the best Chicken Marsala ever at a restaurant called Buca di Beppo’s in Huntington Beach, California. I Googled their recipe, which I found, but it claims the reason theirs is so good is because they have their own Marsala. But I have to admit yours looks just as good as theirs so I’m going to give it a whirl. Thanks much for posting it. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

    I’m sorry, I need more defined steps. 🙂
    Pan fry? Using oil? If so, how much?
    Do I need to dip the chicken in egg or anything before dredging it through the cornstarch?
    Pan fry to brown both sides? Am I cooking it thru or just browning?
    Before I add the mushrooms and other ingredients, have I taken the chicken out or is it still in the pan cooking?
    I apologize for all the questions and thank you for sharing your recipes. I am mostly a novice.

      Pan fry in a few tablespoons oil, no egg dip, brown both sides-thin cutlets will mostly cook through at this point and will finish off when simmering in sauce.

        February 15, 2014 at 4:11 pm

        Thank you so much! Just to confirm, I leave the chicken in the pan the whole time I cooking with the mushrooms, Marsala wine, butter, broth, cornstarch and cream, correct? Can’t wait to attempt it 🙂

          Lori, “remove chicken to a plate” , you remove it after browning both sides, you put the chicken back in the pan after adding the cream. The recipe tells you step by step. The chicken will cook through while it is simmering in the pan for a few minutes. Chicken cutlets are fairly thin, they are not whole chicken breasts. Enjoy 🙂

    Check the 3rd ingredient above. Should say 1 1/2 cups Chicken Stock? It says 1 1/2 cups cornstarch.

      The 3rd ingredient is correct. You are dredging the chicken in the cornstarch as the directions say.

      Heavy cream is the same thing as “whipping cream” It’s next to the light cream or the 1/2 and 1/2 in the milk aisle.

      For SUBSTITUTE OF WINE: I use grape juice. It tastes the same a little sweeter though. That’s what we use in our restaurant when children order it. Wine is safe for xii king but we still love grape juice plus it’s cheaper

    I have been looking for an easy delicious chicken masala recipe for decades. Going to try yours and will get back with results. By the way, I cannot believe all the crazy useless questions, you have the patience of a saint. Thanks for your recipe. It will probably end up becoming my “go-to” chicken masala.
