I just made chicken marsala for the first time

[OriginalGeek]

except I didn't have any marsala wine so I used 7 Daughters Moscato and I didn't have any sherry so I used more 7 daughters and I had a couple white Russians while I was making it


HOWEVER everyone says it it is good. I think I should have used a little more salt.


But I'm not minding this glass of 7 Daughters.


Oh SHIT - and now my daughter is watching Once Upon A Time and a big ass caterpillar just blew smoke at some people.;l


Yeah...this works.

1. Oh Yes!!!

[OriginalGeek]

[progressoid]

2. now THAT's cookin!

4. I've watched enough FoodTV network

that I can at least not poison the family.

I had fun tonight - my daughter said "Yeah, you can make this again"

5. You should try it with Marsala wine sometime

It's a great dish that I make fairly often. I just use the cheaper Fine grade. I'm too cheap to use the expensive stuff. It still comes out great and has a very distinctive taste.

6. All the recipes I saw used sherry too

Does that make much of a difference?

I love getting chicken marsala at restaurants and I think the difference in what I made and what I get when eating out was the Marsala...mine was still pretty good but I'm sure the right wine makes a difference....

I'm putting marsala on the next shopping list...

7. Not necessarily better or worse than other wines, but different

Marsala wine has a distinctive taste which is reflected in the dish.

[OriginalGeek]

8. That's probably why

I've never been to a restaurant that made Chicken Boones Farma.

9. That's awesome!

[OriginalGeek]

10. I just had the leftovers for lunch

even without all the liquor it was still pretty good.

But I'm definitely gonna take Major Nikon's advice and get marsala wine for the next batch. Just texted my wife to to put it on the list.

11. can you make this w/o wine?

i've made it in the past and love it. but the 'chipper' here is reluctant to share the joy of mushroom, chicken, noodley, saucy goodness cause of the wine. apple juice didn't quite work and the wine burns off isn't gonna be a choice, any other advice? apple juice and chicken broth 1::1 mix? apple juice&white grape juice&shot of rice vinegar?

[OriginalGeek]

12. Hmmm, I really don't know

I don't think I've watched THAT much foodTV.


I don't know how the grape juice compares to wine in reducing down. If I had unlimited chicken supplies I might be willing to try it - maybe with a shot of balsamic vinegar....

13. after a search

apple juice, dollop of honey, rice wine so i can tweak to taste and try it. that chowhound site also suggested deglazing the pan for lemon chicken with perrier...huh, wouldn't thought of that either. gosh i love DU. thanks for the OP original geek.

[OriginalGeek]

14. And thank you!

I now have even more things to try!
