5 star no doubt!!! My whole
Eric Campbell Jr.
Outstanding! I followed this to the letter. I can’t begin to tell you how delicious this tastes. I also found a recipe for Rice a Roni on this recipe site and served the 2 together. Definitely 5 stars.
Karen Russell
Absolute hit with the family. Forgot to put mushrooms so added peas at the end. Everyone was scraping their dish. Will double the sauce next time.
Robert Burton
Used chicken thighs instead of breast and added a little red wine.. because… booze! excellent!
Karen Crane
easy and delicious!
Devin Hobbs
Great dish. I have been cooking for a long time and I love finding dishes like this. I may have changed a few things but as this is written it’s great. Give that chicken a good browning first and you won’t be disappointed.
Joshua Galvan
This was wonderful! I left out the salami and added extra prosciutto because I didn’t have any, but it was still so good! I served it with rice and peas.
John Cooley
This recipe is delicious!!!!! I followed the recipe exactly. My family enjoyed it and the leftovers were just as good. I will definitely make this again.

Very good! My family all enjoyed this with southern style green beans and buttered fettuccine noodles! I left out the mushrooms because I’m the only one in my family who would eat them. I used 4 strips of bacon, cut into about 1/2″ pieces instead of prosciutto, and I used some skinless turkey sausage instead of the salami. I also added a little extra chicken broth and heavy cream at the end. Taste the sauce before you serve. Mine had a lot of flavor (probably because of the salt in the bacon and I may have added closer to 2 cloves of garlic), which is why I added a little more liquid. The sauce is so good, I would recommend serving with rice, pasta, or some other plain grain. I used my green beans to soak up the sauce, it was so good!

A great sauce that can easily accommodate changes to what you have in the fridge. Didn’t have marinara, so I made some. Didn’t have prosciutto, used bacon. Didn’t have sherry, used ACV. Don’t care for mushrooms, subbed artichokes. Didn’t have bread crumbs, put some white cheddar popcorn in a food processor. Sauce was great, doubled the amount. Followed others on cooking the chicken first and setting aside while working on the sauce. Served with steamed broccolini and mashed potatoes. Winner, winner…we’ll you know the rest!

Have made it several times, love it!
Michael Wilson
Big family hit. Did not change much this first time around. Added two more cloves garlic and topped with Romano cheese. Goes into the rotation as it is not easy to find things that everyone in the house rated highly. Thanks!
Elizabeth Gonzalez
OUTSTANDING! This is one of the few recipes that are truly 5 stars! I will definitely make this again. It is a lot like Vodka sauce (Sherry is used here instead) – it is just so delicious. Cooking for just two people so I used only 1 boneless chicken breast that I pounded out and cut into “nuggets” and it was perfect. Started by browning up the salami and prosciutto, and then adding the onions (no extra oil for sauté). Had enough left over that I made it into a casserole a few days later by just adding mozzarella cheese to the top of the dish and covering to heat up. Delicious again – how great is that! This is full of flavor and is not oily at all (another reviewer). Thank you for submitting this gem.
Anthony Sellers
I added red pepper flakes, some cayenne pepper & pour it over ziti noodles. FANTASTIC!!!!!
Clinton Wiggins
made it with a few tweaks my local giant eagle didn’t have prosciutto so I thought humm what goes good with everything… boom bacon and instead of sherry I just used a white wine it turned out fantastic! not 1 ingredient overpowered the others. only bad part about it was no left overs!
Nathaniel Davis
Excellent recipe! I took other reviewers advice and didn’t add any additional salt. I browned the chicken breasts first then removed and added them back after I had all the sauce ingredients in the pan. It was delicious!
Stephanie Rivers
Really tasty. Better than using spaghetti sauce alone. Good over noodles
Michelle Long
Awesome! I doubled the sauce and I should have added more chicken, because it is so good you want lots more! We put it on fresh fettuccine, but itwould have been good on rice or with potatoes. It’s a winner!
Joseph Guerrero
Just made for tonight’s dinner…all thought it was excellent with wonderful taste! Thank you for sharing,
Laura Carlson
Followed recipe and found it to be incredibly salty due to prosciutto and salami.
Mr. Richard Miller
Came out so delicious! Perfect for when guests come over.
