For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the pan after searing the chicken, before adding the cream. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon or two of chicken broth to thin it out. Serve this dish with a side of roasted asparagus, creamy mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Chicken thighs can be used as a substitute for chicken breasts
