As part of a sponsored post for Collective Bias®, I made this quick and easy Chicken Marsala Recipe using Land O’ Lakes Sauté Express® Sauté Starter:
I am going to start off by letting you know that I was a little skeptical about Land O’ Lakes Sauté Express® Sauté Starter when I first heard about it. I am usually a “cook everything from scratch” sort of person. However, a 75¢ off coupon for Sauté Express® Sauté Starter combined with Walmart’s low price of $2.76 convinced me to try it. And wow, was I impressed! This is seriously delicious.
My husband walked in when I was melting the Garlic and HerbSauté Express® Sauté Starter for the first time to see what I was cooking. It smells that good. And it tastes even better. It is a mixture of butter, olive oil, garlic and spices. So you can add a square to a pan then add some veggies, saute, and 10 minutes later you will have the most fantastic side dish.
Making a quick side dish is one thing, I wanted to see if I could take it to the next level. How fast could I create an entire dinner using a Sauté Starter? I formulated a plan for a quick dinner recipe, set a timer, and started cooking. I was able to create an amazingly delicious Chicken Marsala that my family raved about with Garlic Green Beans and Potatoes on the side in 20 minutes. Faster than I could have pizza delivered and so much more wholesome.
Save the wrappers! Place the wrappers in a baggy and put them in the freezer to use later to grease casserole dishes. It is a flavorful alternative to greasing your pans with butter or oil alone.
I took a recipe for Easy Chicken Marsala that I found on the Land O’ Lakes website and made it even faster and easier by replacing several of the ingredients with Sauté Express® Garlic & Herb Sauté Starter.
While the Chicken Marsala was cooking, I started sauteing green beans and potatoes in Sauté Express® Garlic and Herb Sauté Starter.
Quite a few potatoes wedges were stolen by people walking through the kitchen as I cooked. Next time, I will have to factor that in and add an extra potato to the recipe.

While many people enjoy Chicken Marsala over pasta, I prefer to skip the pasta and serve it with a side dish of veggies, so I made Garlic Green Beans and Potatoes. I adapted this recipe that I found on the Land O’ Lakes website. It was quick, easy and seriously delicious!
