As many others, I increased the flavor with the butter, onion, garlic and pepper. I used half and half for less calories and thickened the sauce with a little flour. (I also used a whole wheat pasta.) Easy recipe! Husband gave it a thumbs up! Read More

I added onions and garlic to the pan with olive oil and a little tarragon. The dish was good but I think it needs something to "thicken" the sauce better. I used half and half and it curdled a little. Next time I'm going to add some chicken broth to pan and a little flour/butter mixture before the cream and see if that makes a difference. Read More

Made this for the family. It was a big hit. As other reivews suggested I sauteed garlic in butter with chicken and mushrooms. I also added extra heavy whipping creas and it turned out perfect (I used 2 cups instead of 1 1/2 cups). Family requested that I fix this again. Read More

Just made this for the first time and it was wonderful but I added 5 cloves of FRESH crushed garlic and increased the cream to 2 cups. I also added about 1 teaspoon of basil for a little color & flvor and will add fresh broccoli the next time. The sauce WILL thicken - just give it TIME! It is worth the wait! Read More

This was very good! I did make a few changes; I used half-and-half instead of heavy cream to make it a bit lower in fat and put about a teaspoon of corn starch to make it thick. I cut out the butter and used spray instead and I also sauteed the mushrooms separately in a touch of white wine for some flavor ant it turned out really well! I will definitely make this again!

This was SO good!!! Very rich and creamy. The only changes I made were to increase the cream to 2 1/2 cups and I added 2 cloves of fresh crushed garlic to the chicken mixture. Also, I new the sauce would thicken but it does as it reduces so I used about 1 tsp. of corn starch mixed in a little water, then added to the sauce. It thicken up real fast without reducing too much! This was so good, better than restaurant fettuccine! I was very impressed considering how easy it was! This is a keeper!! Read More
