Not a fan of Marsala wine. I used Merlot instead and it was delicious.

I love chicken and mushrooms. Can this be made without marsala? I have other wines.

I made this recipe for a dinner party for 6 -- just increased the amounts. Everyone came back for seconds... Also, I did go heavy on the liquid ingredients and added more... so, I could create a pitcher of sauce to add to the dish. Also, I severed with angel hair pasta ... Perfect! Another Winner
