5 Visitor Comments About This Recipe
  • Hi, I tried this recipe today, and it was abolutely delicious. I didn't have marjoram so I subsutited it with rosemary and instead of the proscuitto, I used smoked bacon about 4 slices. Instead of canned mushrooms, I used an 8 oz. pack of fresh baby portabellos. It was so easy to make and my husband really loved it. This will definitely be a regular dish in my home. Thanks for the recipe. Kim

  • This is a great recipe! Everyone that I make it for loves it! I use it to impress guests.

  • Ok, so I didn't do the marasala sauce (Not a mushroom fan) but the grilled chicken part of this recipe was really amazing! Good job! Thanks for adding a simple, yet really taste recipe to my cooking arsenal. The only change I'd make is I'd recommend cooking it a bit longer than 5-7 minutes. 9-11 seemed to make sure the chicken was fully cooked.

  • Great recipe! The sauce is fantastic. I suggest you double the recipe.

  • I made this recipe. It was great! I only went to Carrabba's for this dish. I have this every time we visit the restaurant. But since I can make it now, I haven't been back since. I was cooking for my family so I used more chicken and marsala cooking wine. My family raved over it..
