It has very little prep to it and still gives you that amazing creamy marsala taste at the end. A key ingredient to this Chicken Marsala in the crock pot, as you can imagine, is Marsala wine. It brings the signature dish to this recipe. In many recipes, I give alternatives to wine in the recipe. Unfortunately, in this particular recipe, there is no replacement for the Marsala wine. If you are cooking for someone who is sober, I encourage you to search for a different recipe they will enjoy. My Mushroom Chicken is delicious and wine-free. To cut the chicken into cutlets, place hand on top of the chicken breast. Using a very sharp knife, cut the chicken breast in half as seen below. Because the temperatures of crockpots and slow cookers can vary so greatly, I think when you are cooking chicken, relying on temperature rather than time can yield great results. This thermometer is meant to be left in the meat while in the oven. It works perfectly to monitor the temperature of chicken in slow cooker recipes like this one. However, for this recipe, we have minimal liquid that we are working with. After several different attempts at the perfect creamy marsala sauce, making a slurry with cornstarch worked best. To thicken sauces in the slow cooker with a cornstarch slurry, you will want to mix one part warm water with one part corn starch until the mixture is smooth. Then, stir it into the liquid in the slow cooker. Give it some time to thicken and have a beautiful sauce with minimal effort. To reheat, put the chicken breasts you plan on eating, some of the mushrooms, and some of the sauce in a shallow skillet over low heat. Stir often, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is warmed through.
