Ladies, I love you, but what is this nonsense? You throw expensive mushrooms away? Gelatin? Wtf? No. Stop. I mean, can u imagine, I buy $8-$10 mushrooms at what is NOT my local aldis, boil them and throw them away.
Who did this?
Yeah, I'll stick with my own recipe.
I am going to give us a thumbs up, because I learned a couple of things, and it did help me make a better dish. But I agree, gelatin is just flat weird and very hard to get right. Lots of other ways to thicken a sauce.
And also, these two are like to swing sisters of cooking. It’s hard to watch.

0:38 DRY MARSALA EYE CONTACT.
these 2 twats hate each other…..you can easily tell
making this tonight! No panchetta though so I'm adding a little chicken base. Love this show .
Making this recipe tonight. It has been on my list for a while and I finally remembered to buy both dry Marsala wine and dried porcinis.
Will check back w/ results.
Edit:Tasty and tender. I don't usually "follow a recipe" but I did in this case because I was having a hard time wrapping my head around the reason ATK jumped around so much. Was it really just to keep this a "One Pan Meal"? I am sure all the sauce steps can be done in a flowing process with a sauce pan with a sauté pan working only for mushrooms and chicken, deglazing with marsala.
I think a lot of casual home cooks will get lost on this one.
On the other hand that chicken fillet tip is priceless.
Love your stuff, just had a couple issues with this one.
I am so impressed with first, the professional way you ladies taught us how to make this recipe, and secondly, the high quality recipe. I could almost smell that sauce! I will recommend this show and will watch as often as possible. Thank you.
Omg, blasphemy!
I tried this recipe the other night and it was absolutely delicious…however I swapped out the pancetta for smoked bacon and didn't discard the mushrooms. It's definitely a keeper!
Im with you all the way except the tomato paste. And I love garlic so double that.
I’ve tried both dry & sweet Marsala. Everyone else says dry, I say sweet & a lot of it!

Pancetta and bacon crisp better in a cold pan. Shocked they poured it in hot
They destroyed this recipe, that is not chicken Marsala
Hello from New York City I just bought all of the ingredients to make this dish and paid $55 for all of it. The pancetta and porcini mushrooms are more expensive than gold nuggets.
chicken thigh has more flavor

Marsala and capacitors are my all time favorite. Yumm.
I strongly disagree w the oregano
Huge fan and ATK subscriber here. You gang have taught me so much over the years. Made this recipe last night and it was terrific. BUT one thing seemed a little off to me – the tomato paste. Wasn't impressed with the taste nor the color it added. Scratching my head, I went back to explore my tried-and-true recipe for Pork Marsala, and found a clue – mustard. That recipe uses grainy mustard both for flavor and as a thickening agent, which works perfectly. Think I'll substitute for the tomato paste here next time and compare.
I don’t understand why use unflavored jello. When it get cold the sauce will become hard as Jello. Weird.
I prefer light sauces, not thick varnish-like sauces. There is an art to classic cooking, esp. French, wherein all foods taste of their pure, essential essence.
Thank you for the "DRY' Marsala version. I have only used the sweet version for desserts, like Zabaglione.
This is a family favourite- such depth of flavour! I haven’t been able to
find pancetta in stores for months, so I used bacon – it’s still delicious!
Thanks so much!!👩🍳
Amazing.
Long process, but nice video
I've been watching America's test kitchen for at least 15 years but what I'm trying to want to ask is why wasn't and cheddar fried at the beginning and you could use the fat from that.
This should be a one skillet meal. What the hell?
Outstanding!
Has anyone ever noticed that MOST of these cooking shows GO OUT OF THEIR WAY to leave the BRAND names of the ingredients out? This really irks me sometimes because the brand of ingredients you use can really make a HUGE DIFFERENCE in the outcome of your dish!!! Use "dry marsala" – OK WHAT BRAND DID YOU USE?!?!?!? CMON PEOPLE!!!! I know from watching other shows that you WANT to choose something that tastes good enough to drink normally, and if you don't like the way it tastes when you drink it, then you won't like the taste of it when you cook it. I KNOW THIS – but STILL, this means I still HAVE TO GO OUT and taste DIFFERENT kinds of wines just to find out WHICH DANG BRAND TO USE!!!! What ever happened to making a recommendation?!?! Oh so they won't pay you for your recommendation so you won't do it? CMON.
