If you pat the chicken dry and dust it with the flour and let it sit for a bit of do the flour in the am and leave in
fridge until ready to sautee it will stick to the chicken better and not fall off. This is a method used in commercial kitchens. but not overloading the flour is the key. - 1/25/09

Tried it tonight. After reading the reviews, I also added minced fresh garlic, and some minced onions. I also coated the chicken with Potato Flour instead of white flour(less carbs) . I will defintely make it again. Thanks. - 3/2/09

I use a similar recipe, though no flour, brown the chicken on one side then flip and add just the wine (no stock). I also cover so it heats through and the chicken absorbs the wine flavor. On simmering heat I cook for 10 mins then add mushrooms till soft. Delicious! - 3/2/09

I've made this twice now, and it really is delicious! I've got to agree with Twinsanity - the mushrooms are the best part! I use portabella. - 4/26/09

I skip the flour step because it just peels off (add a bit mixed with water at the end to thicken if needed) and just brown the breasts nekkid. I also add way more FRESH mushrooms--like little sponges that absorb all the savory flavors, they are THE BEST part! - 3/14/07

We loved this. I served it with whole wheat pasta tossed with olive oil, parmesan cheese and parsley. I will make this again but next time I won't coat chicken in flour before browning. Next time I will add the flour to the sauce to thicken before adding the chicken back in.Thanks for sharing! - 6/23/08

Used ground-up 'grape nuts' (cereal) for the coating and added spices - garlic powder, parsley, spicy pepper etc. (what ever you like to your taste). Did add 1 egg to dip chicken in and then the coating - but this covered about 12-14 chicken tenderloins (prefrozen). Added crunch -stayed on also.GOOD - 1/27/09

I see a lot of comments that the chicken coated in flour got soggy... why not try Panko bread crumbs? the give an excellent crunch and don't usually get soggy. You can find them with the oriental foods in your local grocery store or you can go to an oriental market to get them.

I loved this! I didn't have any Marsala, so I used plain red cooking wine, I didn't have any Chicken stock so I used white cooking wine, doubled the mushrooms and added a heaping spoonful of minced garlic. I think I'll call it "Red & White Chicken" lol. - 5/13/10

Very easy recipe, only variation was that I used vegetable broth because I didn't have chicken broth. Oh yea I used two large chicken breasts and followed the recipe exactly as if for four breasts and I felt that the sauce was perfect. Not sure if it would have been enough for 4 servings. Try it! - 1/4/10

O.K.

I wanted to like this recipe however, there just wasn't enough sauce to coat the chicken. In a normal Marsala sauce you have to add "cream" of some sort and this recipe didn't call for any. After the first 10 minutes all the sauce had evaporated. The sauce was flavorful, just not enough. - 10/19/20

I'm a lover of sauces and gravies, so the next time I make it, I'm going to about double the liquids and thicken with a little corn or potato starch at the end. And double the mushrooms. I found the sauce goes great over brown rice. - 1/20/20

It looks like this recipe is for 4 servings/4 people with the chicken breast size and quanitity. So I wonder what the true calorie count is. It does look good and I would cut the recipe in half or more with the 2 of us. We usually have a 3-4 oz breast per serving. Will be trying! - 11/28/19
