My version of this classic Italian dish. This is a very interesting recipe. Actually I've tried this already and I was very impressed by its taste. Try this too so that you will experience the goodness of this dish.

Didn't have marsala so I made a quick red-wine pan sauce using shallots, red wine and a bit of chicken stock and was able to use the brown bits in the skillet and added a touch of butter for a bit of sheen. Also I seasoned the chicken breasts with salt and pepper as well as the spinach with salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. Very colorful and tasty.
