Loved this recipe. But Yes I did follow the advice of others and added garlic, and cornstarch to thicken. I used fresh thyme instead of rosemary because I didn't have fresh rosemary. I came out just perfect. Definately recommend this if your looking for something cheap, easy, and quick and tastes great.

I've made this recipe twice, since I got it. I don't normally even use rosemary, but found that I like it.

SOOOOOOO AWESOME!! This is a keeper. I made/followed a few changes. I used a 1/4 cup of white wine and a 1/4 cup of chicken broth. I used a little less rosemary and added about two cloves of garlic... also towards the end I added a little cornstarch to thicken it up. I seasoned the chicken a little before cooking and then put it all over noodles!! This is one of the better cream sauces I have ever had! Next time I make it I plan on doubling the recipe, since it only really made enough for two of us to have over noodles!! YUM YUM!!!!

I salted and peppered the chicken before cooking it, and added garlic to the butter as well before putting the chicken in the pan, as someone else suggested. I wasn't crazy about the rosemary flavor (had to use dried since I didn't have fresh, and the pieces didn't soften up in the sauce), so I think next time I might try thyme. I also thickened the sauce as someone else suggested by adding cornstarch to the cream before putting it in the pan.

The recipe sounded great and I used fresh rosemary from my garden and followed the recipe as written. It's very bland and needs something else, maybe salt?, which I did not add or even pepper, not added. The sauce is rather thin, I think it would be better if thicker. This recipe reminded me of a tarragon recipe we've be making for years, but you pound the chicken to 1/4 inch before cooking.

The recipe sounds wonderful, but the end result is not the same. I made this last night. My husband and I didn't like it, though my son loved it. Will not be making again. The sauce is very thin and just tastes blech.

This is a PERFECT recipe for low carb dieting! I did add a little crushed garlic to the sauce and really enjoyed the extra flavor it provided. We'll be making it on a regular basis.

I can't rate it yet, because I haven't made it. It sounds easy, fast, and delious. I'll be making it on Daytona 500 Sunday. Grilling my chicken breast of course. Always have a pan to catch juices.

It looks elegant and delicious; however, far too much fat and cholesterol. I'm going to try it with zero-fat 1/2 and 1/2, and substitute margarine for the butter. I make alfredo sauce this way and you can't tell the difference.

My husband, daughter and I really liked it. My boys however did not care for the flavor. But I would make it again.

This was a hit. I did change it a bit though. I had to double the recipe. I added 1 large crushed clove of garlic, because I can't refuse the smell of melting butter and how much it just screams for garlic! I let it saute till it was transparent. Then I added my chicken. I thickened my my sauce with 2T of corn starch in 1/8 c of additional cream. I added 1t of white pepper to finish it off. I served it with Oven Roasted Parsley Potatoes and my guy's left me with no leftovers! So another success! Thank you Connie!!

This is absolutely amazing. The only thing I would do different next time is slow cook the chicken in the oven all day to make it more tender.

The flavor was very nice, but I thought it was way to thin( I used the chicken broth instead of wine) I will make this again but next time I will serve it over rice or linguini to absorb some of the sauce. Then it will be perfect. :)

Family loved this. Easy to make and so flavorful!

Something this delicious has no business being this quick and easy to make! I used 1/4 c. wine + 1/4 c. chicken broth since I couldn't decide which way to go. We'll be eating this one regularly! Excellent!

This recipe was delicious and my kids liked it too. It's hard to find things they will eat when it has "green stuff" on it.

This is my favorite chicken recipe! I agree that it tastes like a 5 star meal. I didn't have fresh rosemary so I used 1tbsp dried rosemary and it was great. I did have to let the sauce cool down for a few minutes to let it thicken up. Delicious!!

I saw this recipe in tase of home and knew I had to try it. It's very easy to make and taste amazing! Try it, you'll love it. I feel like I'm having a 5 star meal from my favorite place without the cost of going out to eat.

This was delicious! I was in a rush and used chicken cutlets I had on hand. Dinner was on the table in less then 15 minutes.

Very delicious. I did change the instructions a little. When the wine was added, I cooked it on med.-high to burn off the alcohol. This is a company recipe. Thanks, Connie
