    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.

    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
