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.
