Hi, what would you suggest as an alternative to white wine in this recipe?
Hi Lubnaamir, chicken broth would replace the white wine nicely.
Just lovely! I can’t wait to make it.

Laureen, this looks great and simple! Pinning! ~ Melissa
It is really simple, yet very tasty. Thanks for pinning Melissa!
We made this last night and it was delicious! We did lighten it up a bit this time by cutting back on the butter, and replacing about 75% of the cream with chicken stock, but we will definitely make the full cream version sometime in the future! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
That’s great Jordanrae, much appreciate you dropping me a note, it is such a simple quick recipe to make. Glad your family enjoyed it.
Can this be made ahead of time and reheated
I have had it as leftovers, and it tastes Ok, but not as good as fresh made.
Do you think I could use whole milk?
You could, but you would probably have to use some type of sauce thickener like cornstarch as milk won’t thicken up like cream does.
Oh, so yummy.thank you.
thanks a bunch!
So so good!! Made this last week and making it again this week, thank you for a great recipe. I didn’t use wine I substituted with chicken broth. Also added 3 cloves minced garlic and definitely used fresh basil.
Some great adaptations Jenn!
Thanks for dropping me a comment, it is a great fast recipe. I like the idea of cooking the chicken in the sun dried tomato oil
Just made this recipe, SO DELICIOUS!!! My son suggested me to add bacon, and so I did. I rate this recipe 5 stars.
Thank you Luz, doesn’t bacon make everything better.
Thanks for the great recipe! The dish was absolutely delicious and super simple to make!
Terrific, so glad you enjoyed the recipe.
OMG, this is amazing. Substituted chicken broth for white wine and it worked well. Will definitely be adding this to my favorites.
Fantastic Linda, I love this recipe as well and make it often!
