- Place chicken in skillet and sauté for about two minutes on each side, or until just golden brown. If skillet is not large enough, sauté the chicken in batches.

This dish was wonderful! I agree with others about doubling the sauce and I made it with shrimp instead of chicken and it was a wonderful dinner for the wife and I. Will make again for sure!Reply

Changes: added broccoli, red peppers, onions, mushrooms, shrimp. Used cubed rotisserie chicken instead of breasts. Added a bit more white wine and 1/2 cup more half and half (instead of heavy cream). Tossed everything together and baked for 1hr @ 300 degrees. Will add diced japapeno peppers next time to make it spicier.Reply
