Great, but I changed the sauce. It seemed a little flavorless, so I added a generous amount of low sodium "Better that Bouillon" chicken flavor, and a splash of heavy cream rather than butter at the end. The result was a less "fatty" sauce" in which the chicken can be brought back up to het is yo are frying ahead of time, or making a large amount.
