Chicken Marsala With Thyme & Grapes
I normally cook my chicken Marsala the classic way with a twist of lemon. It's one of the regulars in my kitchen especially when I am pressed for time. Marsala is one bottle of wine that has a permanent space in my cupboard. It's in my must-have list at home.
For lunch, I was ruminating whether to just grill the chicken fillets or try something new. It all depends on my one-year old. If she sleeps, then I will have the time to cook something more elaborate than grilled chicken fillets. Decision made - she slept.
If you like the combination of salty & subtle sweetness in your plate, then you should give this dish a try. We all loved it and my son is even asking for a repeat immediately! It's so fast & easy to do too.
