On the menu tonight – Chicken Marsala!
This was another dish on the menu for the cooking class. OMG! It’s SO good! They called for chicken breast, I hardly use chicken breast. I used chicken thighs for this recipe- my favorite. They are more flavorful and don’t dry out like the breast meat. I’m definitely adding this to my easy to make chicken meals. From start to finish I think I was done in about 45 minutes and only because I did the chicken in small batches. Check out the recipe below and make your version!

Notes
For the meat, you can use chicken breast or thighs. I prefer thighs as they have more flavor, in my opinion, and don't dry out as easily as the breast meat.
