Nothing beats a dinner you can make quickly, with few ingredients and packed with flavor. Tonight I decided to make Chicken Marsala. I served this over mashed buttery yukon gold potatoes & garnished with chopped parsley. For the chicken marsala I made, there were a few alterations to a traditional recipe to save time and use what I had on hand. You can certainly use pounded chicken breasts in place for the drummettes I used. Here is my recipe for chicken marsala.
