I’m new to italian food, and i hold myself back when it comes to trying new things, my worldly girlfriend hates it. Being a server at Marcos, I am consistently re-introduced dishes that I haven’t heard of. After closing the restaurant, many of us try new foods on the menu for dinner, but usually I stick with the Chicken Marsala. I offered to take my girlfriend out for dinner the other night, and we decided to come to Marcos because we were in the area. She said, “you should really try something different tonight.” I was hesitant at first, and was craving chicken with a thick sauce that night so I figured I should try the Chicken Amaretto because Frank, the owner practically worships the dish, and Alex, our server that night had it right before. So I tried it…
It was actually really good, breaking down my walls of hesitation isn’t easy. But I’m glad she pushed me outside of my comfort zone, and I think I found a new favorite food. I love sweet and salty things, my favorites are granola bars with nuts and chocolate, sometimes even salted caramel ice cream. It’s almost as if the Chicken Amaretto knew me better than I knew myself, and I’m so glad we found each other, lol!
Chicken Amaretto is one of the most authentic Italian recipes that you can make at home. The chicken is cooked in a creamy sauce made with amaretto cookies, almonds, and cream, and is usually served over fettuccine pasta. If you want to make this dish even more authentic, you can use homemade fettuccine pasta.
We serve Chicken Amaretto with seasonal vegetables and gnocchi, which is boiled and then sautéed with Italian seasonings and olive oil.
Chicken Amaretto is a delicious and authentic Italian recipe that you can make at home for your family and friends. This dish is sure to impress everyone who tries it!
