Did you use sweet or dry Marsala wine?
Sorry Mrsjam, for the delay in responding, had some technical issues… I used dry, but it was what I had on hand, believe sweet would work fine too! Happy Crocking!
I know that the recipe is for Marsala, but is there a substitute – maybe white wine? I just have that on hand…Thanks!
Suzanne sometimes we have to use what we have on hand… I’m sure it will work fine! Happy Crocking!
What can I use instead of Marsala wine or any type of alcohol? I don’t drink so I hate buying wine for cooking. Can I use chicken broth or something else instead?
Jaci you can change any of the recipes to your liking! Love it when you make a recipe your own, just like for you to share so others can see alternatives… Happy Crocking!
Cooking for 6hours seemed way too long. So disappointed. Chicken taste and texture not great.
Hi Elaine, it may be that your slow cooker is crocking too hot! Every slow cooker will crock differently, therefore for your slow cooker you may need to adjust the crock time for your slow cooker. I have several slow cooker, and for the most part they cook for the suggested time, but I have a couple that I always need to adjust the time for, so for future meals you should check them ahead of time with your slow cooker. Hope this helps and Happy Crocking!
Cannot wait to try this recipe! this is one of my favorite dishes and you have simplified it! Thank you!
One suggestion to help amp up the flavor even more, add some Sherry along with the Marsala. It really makes a difference!
Love you site!
Thanks Morticia, the sherry is a great suggestion! Love it!
can you used chicken breasts with the bone in?
