“I made this recipe and it was the most delicious chicken dinner I have ever had. That is not an exaggeration. I have made Julia Child’s recipes with wine and cream which was delicious, and I will honestly say that the sauce in this recipe was better than Julia Child’s white sauce. I think the bacon had a tremendous push to it, and the mushrooms and chicken broth topped it off. As far as my taste goes, this was how much I loved this recipe. The next day after I cooked this chicken dinner, I went back to the store and got ingredients to make some more of the sauce and I froze the sauce in increments for other dinners. I didn’t change anything to this recipe but instead of using milk or cream I used half-and-half.” — Cheryl

“I made this tonight and my husband said it was ‘bomb’! The recipe is very easy to follow and it’s hard to mess up, measurements don’t have to be exact. Prior to using this recipe my Marsala sauce use to consist of Marsala cooking wine and corn starch to thicken..But this recipe is so much better! The cream really elevated it.

“Whenever I see a recipe I’m interested in cooking, I always scan the comments to see the thoughts of someone who actually made the dish. If I can’t find any, I usually move on, because I absolutely HATE it when I go out to get the ingredients for a new recipe and spend the time making it, only to have it be a flop. With this recipe, I decided to take the risk and make it anyway, because the pictures just looked so good. I was NOT disappointed. This dish was easy enough and positively delicious. My very picky boyfriend absolutely loved it and wanted the recipe (I’m not giving it to him because I have always wanted to have a “secret” recipe that he loved, haha). Thank you for this amazing chicken dish. We ate the entire pan! He already has big plans for us to make this again and make sandwiches out of the chicken on big brioche buns. =)” — Lindsey
