Great chicken recipe

I thought this recipe was great.. made for a delicious meal and was easy to make for an extremely amateur cook like myself.
I substituted scallions for onions and cream for 2%milk and a little bit of flour, skipped the wine, and based on the reviews, added a little bit of extra broth and also a bit of cilantro, just because I love it! The sauce didn't end up very creamy, but I didn't mind, I still thought the flavour was great. Would probably add a little bit of garlic next time, again just due to personal preference.

Again, because I'm an amateur cook, I just seasoned and baked the chicken just prior to cooking the sauce and let it soak in the sauce at the end; turned out perfect! Paired it with baked asparagus for a clean, delicious, low calorie meal.

Pros: not a lot of ingredients

Cream and oil in a diet recipe!

I loved recipe, and was surprised that cream and oil could be used in a recipe that was so low calorie. I had to make many substitutions to make it work for my house: broth for wine, half and half for heavy cream, onions for shallots, porta bella for shiitake. I know that the other ingredients would have worked better, but read the comments. I wish that the recipe had focused on ingredients that were more typical of a household, were less costly, and could be used for other recipes (how could a dieter use the rest of the heavy cream?).

Pros: Elegant and easy.

This recipe is delicious and fragrant.

My family loved it. My teenage sons friends were over while I was cooking and they all wanted to stay for dinner.

Pros: It's easy and I had almost every ingredient.

Quick, easy and delicious!

I didn't have the shallot, used minced onion. No wine, either; just more broth. And I forgot the scallion topping. Oh, and didn't have shitakes so I used baby bella mushrooms. But it totally rocked. Thanks for a great recipe and a new weeknight favorite.

Pros: See the title!

Gourmet, French flavors blend perfectly!

Very tasty and easy to put together, Would have been nice to have some left-overs, Had never had shitake mushrooms and was pleasantly surprised how great they taste. They were $11+/pound which I think is expensive. However, I will be make this dish again and again and again! Definitely a keeper.

Pros: Easy and fairly quick.
