Easy Chicken Marsala

This in one of my favorite Italian dishes. I use to think it was so hard to make

because it is so good, until I made it for the first time and realized it is deceiving, it is so easy!

If you don't have Marsala, you can use cooking sherry, which is usually by the vinegars and olive oils at your grocery store. Marsala is a type of wine that is usually at any liquor store, it tastes better, but either will do.

I like to serve this over Whole Wheat Angel Hair Pasta or Spaghetti Squash. Most serve it with Fettuccine, Mashed Potatoes, or rice. I would love to hear any comments or suggestions. Enjoy!
