I haven’t tried a different option here. If you are able to do half and half that could work. It will still be a bit creamy, but will lighten it up a bit. πŸ™‚

I’m not able to eat rich cream sauces. Is there anything I could substitute for the heavy cream.
I know you recommended heavy cream, but it would be nice to have an option for a lighter sauce. I have a lot of your recipes, so hoping for another option for heavy cream.

Another hit of Sam’s! This recipe has been calling my name, and since it’s a dreary Sunday, today just happened to be the day to make this. Believe it or not, I didn’t have any oil on hand (how can that even happen??) so I ended up using the oil from the sun dried tomatoes, and that saved the dish (and my six!) and was absolutely divine!

I’m so glad you enjoyed this one too! I love the sound of some parmesan over cauliflower. πŸ™‚

I’m so glad you don’t limit yourself to desserts, because this is another great savory recipe. When I started, I though that 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes seemed like too much, but I’ve learned to trust your amounts, so I went ahead with it. Once I added it, it didn’t seem like enough. It was just right, of course. My parmesan is getting pretty close to the rind, so it added a lot of flavor I’m eating it on its own today, but when I have leftovers, I’m going to try it on riced cauliflower.

For making this in advance, I would suggest stopping after Step 6. The remaining steps are quick, so it won’t be much trouble to do them the day you are serving it. On the day, heat the sauce, then follow the remaining steps. That should prevent any separating of the sauce, since the cream wasn’t added before reheating.

Hi Katie! So glad you love it! You should be fine to double or even triple the recipe if needed. We only use 2 breasts to feed 4 people, as each breast is filleted into two pieces. The sauce is prone to breaking, so you will want to reheat over low heat on the stove, but it will be thicker and since this sauce doesn’t reheat well, it will not be as pretty.

This is better than any restaurant could ever make!! It is absolutely fabulous!! I will make this again, and again for sure! Sam, if I were making it for 8 people, I would use 8 breasts, and maybe triple the sauce, and veggies, would that be ok? Also, I was thinking of making it the day before, just to save me work on the day they come for dinner, but what would be the best way to heat it, they’ll be a lot to heat? Thank you so much for the recipe!! πŸ’•

Hi Austin, are you saying the cream separated? Did you drain the tomatoes? I just made this yesterday with no issue (and you can see me make it on camera, it shouldn’t turn out like you’re describing nor has anyone else mentioned this).

Not sure what I was expecting, but didn’t mix well. Like eating chicken and cream separate. Threw the whole dish out

I used a half cup of diced tomatoes with green chilies and added garden fresh zucchini. This is so good!

De-lish! Knocked it out of the park yet again, Sam. Thanks for such a delicious recipe. I subbed fresh Swiss chard from the garden for the spinach. Other than that, I followed your instructions to a tee. Wonderful dinner. Thank you!
Janice

In reply to Sam.

Wow, this was great. My husband loved it. He also liked it better than another recipie for Tuscan chicken that I’ve made a couple times, one that I got from a site that specializes in savory!

I love your baking recipes and will have to check out more of your savory ones.
