Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Absolutely, Thighs add richer flavor and stay extra juicy. Just cook them a few minutes longer - about 7-8 minutes per side. The extra fat means they can handle the extra time without drying out.

Is Marsala wine really necessary?

I'm afraid so, friend. That distinctive sweet-nutty flavor is what makes this dish special. Dry sherry is the closest substitute, but it won't be quite the same. Check liquor stores - even small ones usually carry Marsala.

Can I make this dairy-free?

You bet, Skip the butter (use all olive oil) and swap the cream for full-fat coconut milk. It changes the flavor slightly, but you'll still get that luxurious sauce texture. I've done this for my lactose-intolerant cousin - she loved it.

Help! My sauce is too thin.

No panic, Just simmer it a bit longer uncovered. If you're really in a hurry, mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it in. But honestly? I usually just let it reduce naturally - good things take time.
