This recipe was very tasty but the cream sauce was so thin. What would happen if I chose to thicken it with cornstarch?
Please let me know what you think?
Hi Beverly, you can add a tiny bit of corn starch but it does thicken as it sits for a bit or you can add a little more cheese.
Looks delicious. Chicken breasts are y favorite and I'm always looking for new ways to prepare them. I'd add some minced garlic in with the mushrooms, too.
Oh garlic sounds like a great idea. Creamy sauce with garlic is always delicious.
Can I substitute heavy cream for half and half? What about adding cream cheese? I may add lemon zest to my recipe! Thank you so much for this! 🙂
I think half and half would work. Adding cream cheese would probably change the recipe completely.
