Mmmm! If I had the ingredients, I'd make it tonight! Olive Garden's Chicken Marsala (normal, not stuffed) is my absolute favorite. I've tried to make the Marsala sauce myself (without a recipe) and it never tastes quite right. I haven't ever used heavy cream before!
Thanks for sharing!
How's everything else going? Are you still homeschooling? Has it gone well? I miss you guys!!!
I totally enjoyed this meal at the Olive Garden and I just wanted to say "thank you" for posting it on-line so I could cook it at home. I am a recovering addict and have turned my addiction to cooking for my family of five and I just want you to know that you have been a huge part of my recovery. Your recipes are the "excuse the french" but they are the shit. Thank you once again and GOD bless you. Serena Cooper
