Oh no! That's my recipe Maybe you can add another can of soup? I would heat it up first and mix it in. I hope you can save it. We like it...maybe I just like wine too much

Maybe just add some water, and then thicken it as needed?

LOL.....I think its because I dont like wine too much. I only have a can of cr of chicken soup would that do????

water will subside it

I'll drink it, oops, I meant eat it!

Add a cup of hot water/broth with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in it. Then leave the crockpot on med for an extra 1/2 hour to let it thicken.

Sorry, make sure the cornstarch is fully dissolved in the water/broth before adding or else you'll get white clumps.

If you don't have plain chicken broth or stock then I would do what the PP did and add some water with dissolved cornstarch in it and let it get up to a simmer. If you are home now, at this point, it might be easier to put it in a pot on the stove top and do it that way. I wonder if the marsala didn't simmer out enough ...

I never cook with cr. of chicken soup so I am not sure but I think that flavor will completely alter it.

Thanks all for the input...i ended up adding some cr of chick soup and it was ok. I think next time I will definetely only use 1/2 the marsala. Im not a wine drinker so I'm not crazy about wine flavor. I do love Marsala sauce though, especially from Carrabba's. Unfortunately this dish did not even compare

Marsala isn't necessarily a cream sauce which is why it didn't taste even close.

Try this next time.
