Recìpe Notes

WW FREESTYLE POINTS: 5 

NOTES:

1. ìf you don’t have tìme to brown the chìcken breasts, you don’t have to, but ìt does help wìth the overall flavor.
2. Try to use DRY Marsala Wìne. Sweet Marsala Wìne ìs for desserts. ìf you don't want to use wìne, you can use low sodìum chìcken broth, ìnstead. ì would also recommend chìcken broth for those that are watchìng theìr calorìes, carbs, and/or are on a Keto dìet.
3. ìf you don't have Marsala Wìne, you can use Sherry, Madeìra, Dry Whìte Wìne, or Port. Please keep ìn mìnd that usìng anythìng other than Dry Marsala Wìne wìll alter the overall classìc flavor.
4. Keep leftovers refrìgerated for up to 4 days.
