Ina Garten Chicken Marsala Recipe

Guys, Ina Garten's chicken marsala has a rich, velvety sauce with just the right balance of savory and slightly sweet.
Using a mix of cremini and shiitake mushrooms gives the sauce a deeper, more well-rounded taste.
A good marsala wine is huuuuge people, cheap cooking wine won’t give you the same depth or complexity.
A little butter at the end gives the sauce a smooth finish and brings everything together.
Letting the mushrooms brown properly before adding the liquid is key—rushing that step takes away so much of the depth.
