  • rushourrite might want to try a product i rely on frequently: its a no-fat cream substitute i find in the dairy case. my family can't find the difference. The other option is to use condensed milk --and reduce the sauce so that it's creamier. Other than the omission on the amt of chicken breast which could easily be determined by the cook, i'd say this recipe would warrant a couple chef hats--it's different and easily varied!

  • 3/4??? Cup or Lbs??? And where do you find "smoked" chicken breast?

    1 and 1/2 cups heavy cream makes this recipe sound very fatty and rich.

    Only 1 chef hat - sorry

  • I would toast the pine nuts without the butter for a crunchy texture. Otherwise sounds delicious!
