I also did not whip the cream ( to lazy lol ) and just poured it in and let it boil for a bit and it will thicken. But on the flip side I didn't want it to thicken to much cuz thats what helps the chicken go down well. I would NOT freeze this recipe. Between the cream and the cheese ack no wont freeze well. I also put a touch of wine in the cream sauce as I love that flavor with chicken.

OK so I made this for dinner tonight. WOW it was great! Fred kept mmmmm ooooo my God this is so good! He said it is one of the best things I have ever made. Of course I can not really take credit for it as it is your recipe (which he knows) but he also said it was the best alfredo sauce that he has ever had and he used to get alfredo everywhere we went!! You hit a home run with this one. A small word of caution to later Octobers as I am that it is still a little rich. BUT man was it good. Fred ate way too much even! He said he would suffer all over again just to eat it!! Believe it or not!!!! I did only do 4 chicken breasts and actually cut them in half before I brownded them and baked them. I also added the wine like you suggested. Even though it was rich my pouch still liked it and it stayed down. Just that little feeling of wait hold on not to much of this kind yet sweetie. He is very nice to me sometimes LOL Thanks a bunch for this. Fred thanks you too! Hugs, Melissa
