Keeping on the Sunnyside of Life

Chicken Moscato

March 9, 2020

Olive Garden’s Stuffed Chicken Marsala is one of my favorite meals!  I don’t think I’ve even tried anything else there…  And believe it or not, they feature some of their most popular recipes on their website for you to make at home! This version is something I’ve adapted over the years using Moscato wine instead of Marsala (since it’s more commonly what I have on hand) and topping the chicken breasts with the cheese mixture instead of stuffing them — which makes the preparation, cooking, and clean up so much simpler!

This does take a bit of time to prepare, but it’s so worth it.  The cheese mixture could even be made a bit ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you are ready. I didn’t take photos of each and every step but here are the basics!

After combining cheese mixture, you flatten your chicken breasts, dredge them in seasoned flour, then saute each side until golden brown.
Place in a casserole dish, top each breast with cheese mixture and bake.While your chicken is baking, prepare the sauce.
I love the flavor the Moscato adds, just be sure to taste as you go and adjust accordingly! 

I always serve this with mashed potatoes (topped with more sauce!) and a green veggie.
