Notes
Dry Marsala, not the sweet dessert bottle if you can help it. Sweet Marsala makes a heavier sauce. A dry white wine is the fallback.

Wine pan, not a cream pasta
Alfredo is cream and parmesan. This sauce is wine and mushrooms.
Substitutions
Dry sherry is closer than grape juice. Add a teaspoon of sugar only if the wine is harsh.
Mistakes to avoid
A thick flour coat turns gummy. A light dust is enough.
Storage
Refrigerate 3 days. The sauce tightens. Loosen with broth.

FAQ
What is Marsala?
A fortified wine from Sicily. Dry is the cooking bottle for this sauce.
No wine?
Broth plus a teaspoon of balsamic is a weaker stand-in. The dish is built on the wine.
Cutlets or breasts?
Cutlets cook evenly. Pound thick breasts to about 1/2 inch.
What do I serve it with?
Egg noodles or a plain potato. The sauce is the point.
