Notes
To get the best flavor, make sure to season the chicken breasts well before cooking. If you love extra sauce, you can double the amount of heavy cream and chicken broth. Don’t skip the fresh parsley; it adds a fresh touch to the dish. If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth or cream if needed.
