    Creamy sauce for chicken??

    I have some chicken breast that I'm having for dinner tonight but I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. I was thinking a nice creamy sauce would be nice over it. How do I make that?? Better let DH know if he needs to get anything from the shops on his way home.

    You could try a sauce with:

    Mushrooms, finely chopped garlic, white wine, cream (pure cream, not thickened or double), a fresh leafy herb of some description (parsley, basil, etc) or a sprinkle of mixed dried herbs or fresh rosemary or thyme.

    Pan fry chicken, cover and keep warm. In same pan, gently saute sliced mushrooms in a little olive oil, add garlic just before adding wine (do not let garlic over cook as it will turn bitter), then turn heat to high, add white wine (a decent splash, about 2-3 tablespoons) and dried herbs or rosemary or thyme (if using) and reduce by at least 1/2. Add cream and boil for a few minutes until cream is slightly reduced. Season with black pepper, and add finely chopped leafy herb if using (and salt if liked, I prefer not to). Serve spooned over chicken.

    You could do Tuscan Chicken.

    Fry the chicken in il until browned.

    Add 1 teaspoon of Tuscan Seasoning (if you don't have this you could use whatever dry herb mix you have or use none I guess but it's best done with the Tuscan Seasoning).
    Add a little pepper & 1 cup of water & a chicken stock cube.

    Simmer turning occasionally til chicken is cooked.

    Remove chicken and keep warm.

    Add 1 cup of cream to the pan. Cook over a high heat til sauce is reduced by half.

    Spoon the sauce over the chicken.

    It's the absolute best way to have chicken.
