The slow cooker makes chicken Marsala a dish you can throw together in no time, and it cooks hands-free while you go about your daily tasks. The delicious Marsala sauce is made with dry Marsala wine and chicken stock. If you prefer sweet Marsala wine, go ahead and use that. Either way, it is a tasty dish and goes well with rice, pasta, or potatoes.
