Lemon-Basil Chicken Marsala image

"This melt-in-your-mouth Chicken Marsala is based on a recipe picked up in a cooking class," recalls Greta Igl in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. "But the basil and splash of lemon are my own touches. We've tried this dish in many restaurants, but always agree our homemade version tastes best. It's so easy...and if we're lucky enough to have leftovers, they reheat beautifully in the microwave."

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice. I had some leftover brown rice and it worked perfectly in this dish. The sauce was flavorful and creamy, and the chicken and rice were both cooked perfectly.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the chicken. It turned out great! The tofu was firm and flavorful, and the sauce was still delicious. I would definitely make this again with tofu.

I'm not a fan of basil, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the basil. I'll definitely be making this again with basil next time.

I substituted white wine for the marsala wine and it turned out great! The sauce was still flavorful and creamy, but it had a slightly different flavor profile. I would definitely make this again with white wine.
