Place Chicken pieces into hot pan and spread out so that each piece touches the bottom of the pan. Do not wipe off marinade. Let cook for about 5-10 minutes, or until done on that side. Then take a fork and turn over each piece of Chicken over individually. Let cook for a couple of minutes.

Stir in Cream and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
