About
This recipe is definitely restaurant quality! The marsala wine and sugar are my secret ingredients, trust me it's worth the trip to the liquor store to get the wine. And with the left over wine you can try this great chicken marsala recipe recipe from allrecipes.com. Also one of my favs! If you're a french onion soup lover, like me, then you will really enjoy this. Also, as with almost all of our recipes, its super easy to make.
