LEMON-BASIL CHICKEN MARSALA



Lemon-Basil Chicken Marsala image

"This melt-in-your-mouth Chicken Marsala is based on a recipe picked up in a cooking class," recalls Greta Igl in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. "But the basil and splash of lemon are my own touches. We've tried this dish in many restaurants, but always agree our homemade version tastes best. It's so easy...and if we're lucky enough to have leftovers, they reheat beautifully in the microwave."
