  1. I am sorry — I’m confused by the freezing directions. Is “Place chicken in one gallon freezer bag. Seal.” supposed to be included in the freezing directions? Or should it just say ‘Place chicken bag and sauce bag into one gallon bag. Label and freeze.”

  2. I’m drooling. Too bad there’s not a way to sub the marsala wine, though–my husband can’t have anything with alcohol in it. Guess I’ll just have to make this next time he’s out of town.

    1. I just sub with some extra chicken broth. There is marsala cooking wine that you can buy at the grocery store that doesn’t include alcohol.

  3. This was a big hit for my family. I didn’t have marshals wine so I just used a good red table wine I had and everyone loved it. (Served it with egg noodles and garlicky green beans)

  4. Going to reheat tomorrow and want to be clear that this is reheated from frozen and it does not need to be defrosted correct? Thanks for the help and yummy recipe!

  5. If I make this for my hubby to take to work, can it be frozen all in one container and then heated in a microwave once it’s thawed?

  6. I make individual freezer meals for my husband to take to work with him. Can this all be put together in individual containers and reheated in a microwave once it’s thawed?

  7. I would like to make this for a party for 24 people. When reheating, if I put it in large foil pans, could I reheat it in the oven? If so what temp and how long would you think? Thank you!

    1. Hi Mary – We had our Menu Builder team review your question and this recipe. I would say you can put it in the oven at 350 and check it after 15-20 mins. Hope this helps! ~ OAMM

  8. Can I use corn starch or something else instead of flour to make GF? Cooking for 150 people and one has celiacs!

  9. this was awesome! I prepared it from frozen & it reheated flawlessly. i served it with fresh pasta and it was DELISH. I used cornstarch to thicken it and it kinda looked like it separated when it thawed but after simmering it was perfect 🙂

  10. Hello, I have made this often and it is delicious, I want to make it today, having unexpected family coming but my chicken breast are frozen, can you let me know if I should place it in the instant pot fry it on all sides before start the recipe. Help

  11. I’m sorry this sounds lovely however the fat content cannot possibly be 12 g if you add two tbsp of olive oil and a tbsp of butter and divide that by four servings it’s way above 12 g and that’s without including the meat.

    1. Hi Sharon,
      We appreciate your concern for accuracy in the nutrition information in this recipe and will pass this along to our dietitian and have her look into it. Thank you.

    2. Hi Sharon. I have verified using professional nutrition software that the 12g of fat per serving on this recipe is in fact correct. The majority of that comes from the olive oil followed by the butter, with a very small amount coming from the chicken and reduced fat chicken broth. If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to let me know. – Kate, OAMM Registered Dietitian

  12. Thanks for a great recipe. Is there a way i can make Half and half as it is not sold where i live. also is it possible to substitute the wine at all?

    Thanks again!

    1. Hi! I’m including a link with a few different options to make your own half and half since I’m not sure what options you have available to you. As to the wine – you can sub broth!
