Hi Immanuel

Your receipe was awesome! I sliced up the chicken before putting it backninto the sauce. I added a lot of aparagus and simmered for a bit. Let me tell you, that aparagus was absolutely tasty. I poured it over fettuccine noodles and was very pleased with the outcome.

I was wondering what is a Creole seasoning and is that something I could buy or make my own? Thanks

Just tried this today and it was delicious!!! Pinned it and now one of my faves. Thank you so much for sharing. I've been looking everywhere for a boneless skinless chicken breast recipe that doesn't leave the meat dry and actually tastes good, this did the job. Thanks again.

Did you make this recipe?
