April 30, 2013 at 1:07 pmHi, what would you suggest as an alternative to white wine in this recipe?
Laureen King says
April 30, 2013 at 1:28 pmHi Lubnaamir, chicken broth would replace the white wine nicely.

May 23, 2014 at 2:14 pmWe 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 🙂
Laureen King says

November 8, 2014 at 12:54 pmCan this be made ahead of time and reheated
Laureen King says
November 8, 2014 at 2:45 pmI have had it as leftovers, and it tastes Ok, but not as good as fresh made.

December 9, 2014 at 6:11 pmDo you think I could use whole milk?
Laureen King says
December 9, 2014 at 6:49 pmYou could, but you would probably have to use some type of sauce thickener like cornstarch as milk won’t thicken up like cream does.

January 20, 2015 at 8:28 amSo 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.
