What’s the difference between chicken Marsala and chicken Madeira?

The main difference between Chicken Marsala and Chicken Madeira lies in the type of wine used and the overall flavor profile. Chicken Marsala uses Marsala wine, which gives the dish a rich caramelized flavor, while Chicken Madeira is made with Madeira wine, which has a sweeter, more robust taste. Additionally, Chicken Marsala typically includes mushrooms and is often garnished with parsley, whereas Chicken Madeira may include mushrooms, asparagus, and is commonly topped with melted mozzarella cheese.
