I search for a recipe that used chicken and mushrooms and found chicken marsala recipes. I would have made that, but I didn’t have marsala wine, and most of the recipes I found used some pork in one way or another. I was happy to find a recipe from Joelen’s blog that didn’t use pork. She mentioned that I could use any chicken part I wanted, another reason I chose that recipe. I usually don’t have chicken breast on hand and that’s what most of the recipes I found called for, so I used chicken thighs. I still didn’t have the marsala wine, so I looked up alternatives, and pretty much there is no alternative. I decided to use all wine and renamed it. I also didn’t have the portabellas, so I used white mushrooms.

1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground, black pepper

I served this over white rice. Gary thought it would be great served over pasta. I agree.
Mmm looks sooo yummy!
