Description

This slow cooker Chicken Marsala is tender, juicy, and full of rich flavor.
As it cooks, the chicken absorbs the savory sweetness of the Marsala wine while the mushrooms become perfectly soft and flavorful.
The result is a comforting, restaurant-style dish that pairs wonderfully with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Tips

• Use real Marsala wine instead of cooking wine for the best flavor.
• Cremini mushrooms add a deeper, richer taste compared to white mushrooms.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
• Serve with buttered noodles, rice, or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal.

Correction (Common Mistakes to Avoid)

• Do not overcook the chicken, especially on HIGH, as it may become dry.
• Avoid stacking the chicken too tightly to ensure even cooking.
• If the dish tastes too salty, use a low-sodium onion soup mix or add extra mushrooms.
