     Tomato juice? Why not use Marsala wine? That's what gives it the name AND the flavor.
    And when I make Chicken Marsala, I don't dredge the pieces in flour. It simply isn't necessary for the flavor and will save calories.
    You can thicken the sauce with cornstarch or Wondra at the end if needed. - 11/6/07

     You can add 1/2 cup marsala instead of the chicken broth, if it is marsala you want. Just go to the recipe calculator for the diffence in calories when doing it this way. - 6/20/11

     I liked this recipe. I dont cook with wine...so I didnt miss it. I did substitute tomato juice with V8 because that is what I had on hand. I added a little garlic and oregano...just to my taste. It was a nice change from our usual chicken! - 7/20/09

     Why was this recipe chosen as featured editor's choice, when it really isn't chicken marsala? I was excited to see a "low salt low fat" recipe for this classic dish, and then very disappointed to see that it contained no marsala whatsoever! - 3/10/08

     I made this tonight for dinner for my self. I' am a diet so this was great for me now I have left over to have for lunch etc. This is the first time I had Chicken Marsala and I thought it was great. I would diffenitaly make again - 10/5/10

     Marsala wine is used for cooking and gives a distinct flavor. I love the taste of it, with that said this recipe would not interest me as trying to pass it off as chicken Marsala....would be like passing off "chili" without the beans or chili powder as "CHILI" - 10/5/11

     How can this be chicken Marsala without Marsala? Should be called "Faux Chicken Marsala" or "Chicken Marsala-ish".
    I have a low-cal recipe for quick chicken Marsala that is wonderful - I will stick to that. - 8/22/11

     Emeril Lagasse's recipe includes both flour and marsala. Had made that and the flavor of this one is similar. - 12/11/11
  • ANNESYLVIA
     You don't use Marsala wine as part of the recipe? - 12/11/11
  • KARYN8SONS
     Where is the Marsala Wine? It isn't and can't be called Chicken Marsala if there is no Marsala wine in it! Give it another name!!! - 10/5/11
  • SERGEANTMAJOR
     This is not chicken Marsala since it contains no Marsala. For the uninitiated when you cook with wine or any other alcoholic beverage the alcohol disassociates (evaporates) so no longer has any intoxicating property. The loss of the alcohol also significantly reduces the calories. - 10/5/11
  • GRUMPYSGAL
     I will certainly try this!! - 8/22/11
  • JMCYRUS1

     I like this. I will try it a day this week - 8/22/11
  • GRAMPIAN
     I agree with the comment from Carney. It's much better without tomato sauce. - 8/22/11
  • IFEOMA4
     i do not take wine. this to me is healthy - 7/2/11
  • OKIE_NANA
     Wonder how it would be with spicy tomato juice? Not exactly a marsala but it should be zesty. - 6/20/11
  • NGAIBRUCE
     I might try this without the "booze" simply for comparison; however, I've a perfectly good Southeast Asian recipe book with details on prepping the authentic "real deal" chicken marsala. - 6/20/11
  • PATRICIAANN46
     Delicious!!! - 6/20/11
  • CAPTAINCOOKIE
     Not sure what this IS but i know what it isn't. A little bell pepper and onion maybe some garlic and you are getting close to a Cacciatore but the only thing this has in common with Chicken Marsala is Chicken - 6/20/11
  • SUGARSMOM2
     this is a good receipe . love the use of mushrooms . - 6/20/11
  • QUILTERURBAN
     wonderful! Every tiem I cook with wine none of us like it....this is a nice recipe for those who do not use alcohol and there are alcoholics in my extended family so this one is a winner for me - 6/20/11
