    Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou!

    This was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The only problem I had was not enough sauce. Can I double up on the wine and chicken broth in order to have more sauce??.....Towards the end of cooking this dish, I tried to thicken up what sauce I had with arrowroot...but it didnt blend in well and just looked like little clumps. Should I use the arrowroot just when the mixture is warm/cold?....was the sauce too hot and thats why it got clumpy?.......Otherwise, this dish was SUPERB!

    Can you please help me with this one?!

    Tongue Tied

    If you also used the ground oats, the function of them is to act as a thickening agent for the sauce.  As you're deglazing the pan first with the wine (scraping up any goodies stuck to the pan), some of that would've been browned bits of the oat flour.  As you cook and stir, it's sometimes helpful to take the flat part of a spatula working against the bottom of the pan to help incorporate the caramelized bits into your sauce.  You also may've had to reduce the sauce longer to allow it ample time to thicken without using the arrowroot.  Expect to spend time stirring.  Anything thickened with flour can create lumps if not tended.

    If you prefer to go the arrowroot route, I wouldn't bother with the oats at all.  Arrowroot can be a little tricky to use in that while it thickens quickly, it can also break down if you continue cooking too long after it's added.   Since it needs to be heated to activate and you don't want it to clump, before using arrowroot, mix it with an equal amount of water and stir until the lumps are gone.  This is referred to as a slurry.  A minute or so before you're ready to serve, stir your slurry into the hot liquid in the pan.  It should thicken almost immediately.  As soon as it does, it's ready to serve.

    Oh, and yes, you can increase the wine and broth if you want more sauce-- just be aware that because you're not increasing the amount of oats proportionately, the sauce may require a much longer time to thicken and it may even be necessary to help it along with an arrowroot slurry.

    I went to the store tonight to pick up the marsala wine and the one that I had found was loaded with sodium (190mg 2 tablespoons). Am I looking at the wrong kind or are they all like that with the sodium levels? Someone please let me know, im very eager to try this out, it sounds very good!

    I would suspect the wine you found was a cooking wine. If your store does not carry other marsala wine in the liquor department you may wish to try either a liquor store or other store specializing in wines such as Beverages and More.

    I am SOOO excited to hear I can make my own version of Chicken Marsala. It's always been one of my favorite dishes--heavy on the coating and sause, of course. I actually made the super-rich/bad for us Chicken Marsala a couple of days before my boyfriend and I started the 6-WBM, and we were thinking we wouldn't be having this for AGES!

    Thanks for taking a great, rich taste and making it friendly for weight loss!

    Well...It took me a long time to finally make this, but I finally did tonight for dinner and I have to say it is AWESOME! It taste just as good as the Chicken Marsala I use to get at my fav. resturant, minus all the sodium that I remember tasting. This will def. become a staple for me and I will be doubling up on the mushrooms and sauce. There is just not enough left over...CoolParty!!!

    This is truly a really great dish.  If you are looking for something to serve at a dinner party, or just a romantic meal- I have to say this is one of my favorites.  The only change I make to this recipe is when you are boiling down the sauce at the end, don't boil it down so much ( you will miss out on that great sauce!).  Add some arrowroot to thicken it up and you will be glad you did.  Super awesome dinner with Jasmine rice and steamed broccoli or asparagus.  Five Stars!

    This is so tasty and wonderful!  I added in lots of shallots, minced garlic and parsley when browning the mushrooms.  I tripled the sauce so I could pour it over my Jasmine Rice.  I also made asparagus in little bit size pieces and mixed it in with the finished meal.
