Chicken Marsala Patti's version

Tonight I had my bestie, Betty and her husband and mom for dinner to celebrate Betty's birthday. Without even asking her what she wanted, I fixed my version of Chicken Marsala..her favorite dish I make. Served it with Asparagus dusted with parmesan, broccoli and herb rice. My daughter Em made Chocolate Fudge cupcakes with chocolate ganache, mocha frosting and sprinkles. Totally yummmmmmmy. Sorry I forgot to put the marsala and mushroom sauce on the chicken in the picture!
