Chicken Marsala:
Sitting in Basta Pasta, I can’t wait for my dinner to come out. The waitress came out with the hot, steaming plate of chicken marsala. My absolute favorite! The specific aroma of the chicken marsala cannot be confused with any other chicken dish. It just can’t be beat!
At first, the slimy mushrooms and the brown marsala wine are a complete turn off, but once you sink your teeth into the juicy, bursting with flavor chicken, all doubts dissipate. If you mix the chicken in with the wine and leave it there for a few seconds, delicious is simply not good enough of a description. The salty, spicy smell enters your nose and the scent is left in the memory forever. The flavorful, salty, sweet, and hearty taste leaves the taste buds yearning for more. The chicken melts in your mouth almost instantly. Chicken marsala is like the meal of a god.
