Preheat the broiler to high heat. Generously spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, milk and 1 T. Marsala wine; soak for 5 minutes. Add chicken, pecorino cheese, egg, parsley, pepper and 1/2 t. salt; using your hands, gently mix until just combined. Form mixture into tablespoon-size balls; place on prepared baking sheet. Broil for 5 minutes, or until meatballs are just beginning to brown and are barely cooked through. Remove from the oven; set aside.
In a skillet, heat 1 T. olive oil over medium-high heat; add mushrooms; cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until mushrooms are browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add shallots and remaining 1/2 t. salt; cook for 2 minutes; lower heat to medium; stir in the flour and remaining 1 T. olive oil. Add 1/3 c. Marsala wine; stir until mixture is smooth. Whisk in the chicken broth/stock; simmer 5 minutes. Add the meatballs to the sauce; simmer for 5 minutes so flavors blend.
Serve hot, garnished with grated pecorino cheese.
