We had this for dinner last night and the sauce is to die for. We made it as a 6 serving, cooking this chicken breasts in the butter then keeping warm in the oven then cooked up the mushrooms, garlic and shallots (actually used spring onions/scallions), put these in another dish keeping warm in the oven then made the cream sauce. Put the chicken on the plate, topped with the mushroom mixture and then the sauce with excess sauce over the pasta. This one is a definate keeper, still smacking my lips this morning, thank you Kittencal. Made for 123 Hit Wonders 2007.

ExCelLEnT! I suggest cutting the chicken into slices before cooking. It makes it easier for small children to eat. We will for sure make this meal again. Thanks!

Yum! This is a simple dish with great flavor. I served this over spinach fettuccine and we ate ourselves silly. Thanks, Kitten.
