What is chicken Madeira?<\/h2>\n

Chicken Madeira is a divine<\/em> dish similar to chicken Marsala<\/a> in taste and preparation. Both use fortified wine to flavor the rich mushroom sauce; however, chicken Marsala’s fortified wine comes from Sicily and chicken Madeira features fortified wine from the Portuguese islands of Madeira. The two fortified wines are similar, ranging from dry to sweet, but Marsala tends to be sweeter than Madeira, even the dry version. The caramelized notes of Madeira wine add flavor and color to a chicken Madeira sauce. In a pinch, however, you can use Marsala wine, sherry or even port in its place.<\/p>\n
