I've made this recipe twice now and everyone has loved it. I incorporated a few changes based on the comments here as well as my own tastes. - Used 1/2 and 1/2 rather than heavy cream, worked well. You will need to thicken the broth with a small amount of flour. - Used Red peppers sliced and cherry tomatoes, worked well. - Used chicken tenderloins from the store as they're already cut smaller and easy to work with. Overall, love this recipe and already looking forward to it again.
