I doubled the sauce and we had it over steamed potatoes and carrots too! The whole family loved it.

I substituted half the butter with olive oil and I cut pork loin into small fillets and browned in a pan with a small minced shallot. Then I noticed I didn't have white wine so I used red wine with the cream, rosemary. I noticed the flavor was a little to light for our liking so I added a pinch of oregano, garlic, salt & pepper. Very good! I will try with chicken next time I make this. Thanks for the idea in creating this.

Initially, my boyfriend was not fond of it. However, I quote, "at first i wasn't feelin' the chicken too muchbut it grew on me a loti hella want more now". Aside from the fact that heavy whipping cream is quite unhealthy, I will definitely be using [some variation of] this recipe again. Milk + cornstarch (1 cup: 1 tbsp) instead of heavy whipping cream, and chicken broth or some other alternative to butter will make this meal much, much healthier (way too much saturated fat in the original recipe, unfortunately). Definitely would recommend to anybody eating this solely as an occasional treat, or like me, uses healthier alternatives.

I really really wanted to like this. It sounded so good and your reviews were all so good, but I didn't really like this much at all! The flavor was only ok. I was very surprises. Usually I really like almost every single taste of home recipe. That's pretty much all I make every day. This one was a disappointment. Sorry!

So far made a couple times. So satisfying and creamy! I made a few changes. Cooked chopped onions and mushrooms with chicken and used chicken seasoning. Then added chicken stock and then cream. Cooked down to a nice tasty and creamy wonderful dinner! For a side dish cooked potatoes called Salty Balls. Love it! Now a staple dinner in our house.

This recipes was easy and excellent. Both my husband(who doesn't like to try different things) and my brother loved it. Will make again.

I used the chicken broth as my husband doesn't care for anything cooked in wine and I added green onions to the sauce. It was fantastic, even my 7 year old said "Mom, this is so good!" Will definitely add it to my recipe box!

This was so simple & amazing! I made it exactly as shown, with broth. Just delicous, I thought it would be good, but that doesn't even come close. Definitely make it!

I think the flavor of this recipe is better the next day! The only change I made was to cook the (dried) rosemary with the cream while waiting for it to thicken.

Our family loves this, especially my 3 picky boys. I do use more butter than called for and basically double the sauce.

We don't care much for rosemary so used fresh basil, wonderful! I used chicken broth instead of the wine & it was great over rice. I prepared the rice with chicken broth as well. Will surely make again. Thanks.

Enjoyed very much. Good flavored sauce. Come on folks, trailmom did say she was tickled when she read it was for "two". Let's not be so serious..Just enjoyed the offerings....

I tried this last night and really enjoyed it. Loved the flavor of the sauce. I didn't have fresh rosemary and used dried. I really crumbled it up and put it in the sauce earlier than stated to soften it up a bit.

I'm sure trailmom can divide this recipe in half, lets be nice here. Her observation is correct. The intro quote is the same on both the 4-serving and 2-serving recipe, hence the confusion.

I love rosemary with chicken. Made more sauce as I wanted to pour it over cooked noodles and in the future...rice? Thanks Connie

trailmom can you divide by 2? Made this with boneless skinless thighs as I prefer the flavour of dark meat. Tarragon is a nice touch although it is very strong. you have to be careful with the amount. All in all it's aces

Sounds wonderful. Just got a little tickled when they rated it a recipe for "two" and give the recipe and servings for "4."

Fast, easy, and tastes great! This recipe let's the flavor of the chicken shine, instead of covering it up like BBQ sauce. I used dried rosemary, but will try fresh at some point.
