Don’t want to spend money on an expensive Valentine’s Day dinner? Here is the best Marsala Chicken recipe. Seriously, the best! I’ve been to several restaurants, their Marsala Chicken really doesn’t compare to this delicious recipe. Stay home for a quality home-cooked meal, avoid the crowded restaurants. The Marsala Chicken pairs nicely with mash potatoes or angel hair pasta, a salad and cooked veggies.
