Chicken Marsala vs Chicken Limone

Begin with bruschetta topped with fresh mozzarella cheese, skinned roma tomatoes and sweet roasted bell pepper sprinkled with fresh basil and drizzled with olive oil. Prepare Chicken Marsala with fresh sauteed mushrooms in a sweet Marsala butter sauce. See how that measures up against Chicken Limone topped with a chardonnay, lemon, butter sauce with capers. Both entrees are paired with Spaghetti Aglio Olio, tender garden vegetables tossed with olive oil, garlic and Romano cheese. Finish with Diplomatico, a divine combination of rum and espresso soaked pound cake, rich chocolate mousse and fresh whipped cream. Demonstration, hands-on and tasting.
