  1. The dish should be made with paper thin Chicken or Veal. Normally I like many of things they do but this? Pancetta is not typically used. Way many mushrooms. They took a great crowd pleasing Simple dish and made it way too complicated. Go see Lydia make it.

  2. 2 teaspoons of salt for 4 chicken breast halves? That is 10000 milligrams, 2500 milligrams per one breast (serving), the amount we shouldn't exceed in a whole day.
    Does it really need that much? And lets not forget the salt in the broth and pancetta

  3. I make chicken marsala all the time. I would never put gelatin in it, but I do make sort of a “glace de poulet” by reducing chicken stock way down and saving it in cubes to drop into sauces. I use this (or glace de viande) in my marsala sauce, which does add gelatin. And I like the sweetness, would never use dry marsala. I only use shitake mushrooms in mine, just a personal preference. I might try pre-reducing the marsala, but I am not sure why that’s better than reducing it later

  4. I prefer a sweet Marsala. And I also prefer it with a little cream. I guess the cream is a French touch. If I'm at a restaurant and I get a non-sweet version of Marsala I add a packet of sugar to it. To me its not Marsala if it doesn't have a little sweetness.

  5. This is one of the best dishes I have ever made or had! The only thing I did differently was that I used dried shiitake mushrooms instead of porcinis, I cleaned and trimmed them well, and I actually chopped and used them in the sauce after simmering them in the marsala in the first step. They were soft and rich and added a wonderful depth of flavor and texture.
