Chicken contains vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine. Vitamin B6 is important for digesting proteins, plus it helps to keep hair and nerves healthy.
Substitution
Dry sherry can be substituted for the Marsala.
Did You Know?
Amber-hued Marsala wine comes from Sicily and tastes similar to sherry. Marsala can be either dry or sweet, the dry used for savory dishes and the sweet usually for desserts.

One I will make again
This came out so well. The flavors were perfect, it was as good as something in a restaurant. My boyfriend, who is Italian, said it was better than his mother's! And so fast, there was no prep time and cooking was a snap. I made it with whole wheat angel hair and a salad. One change was that I used double the wine (1full cup) and a full cup of water and let it cook longer, more like 15-20 mins. But I had thick chicken breasts. Also, i wanted some of the sauce to be left over to toss with the pasta.

Great Dinner!!
I was very happy with how this dinner turned out. It was easy to make and tasted wonderful. I did not have Marsala wine on hand, so I used chicken broth; it still turned out great. Next time I will try making it with the wine because I know it can only make it even better. I also served this with a small side of whole wheat pasta that I mixed with a little bit of garlic salt, fat free butter, parmesean, and a pinch of black pepper. It was likes by all!
