This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some on hand, so this is a go-to meal for me.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with tofu instead of chicken. It was still delicious!

This dish is a bit too rich for my taste. I would recommend using less butter and cream.

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was dry and the sauce was clumpy.
