Very good chicken dish! I made exactly as directed except I used some left over chicken. Mild as written and we added extra hot pepper flakes. This was quick and easy and we enjoyed it. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.

This was good but just not to my family's liking. Everyone ate it but no one asked for seconds. No one asked for it to be made again either. It was a good recipe that I'm sure others would enjoy. Made for Fall PAC 2007.

This is elegant and easy!! I used 1 cup 1/2 and 1/2 instead of the whipping cream because we tend like more sauce, and had great results. The word at my dinner table was MAKE THIS AGAIN SOON! Thanks Laura for sharing.
