Loved the sauce and i also added in shrimp. Turned out wonderful but only personal alteration i would make next time would be to thicken the sauce by using less water and cook for a bit uncovered in the end. Thanks.

It was ok. Needed more flavor. I didn't have the mushrooms though so maybe that's the issue.

This is a very good recipe. Great depth of flavor. I added a little yellow and orange bell pepper. I also seperated the chicken mixture and sauce with the strainer and then reduced the sauce much further, for it was very runny, and then added it all together.
