My grandmother made this for me all the time. It's so comforting, reheats well, and is great the next day. Serve hot with crusty bread and enjoy.

This was a great recipe! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. I served it over spaghetti, but it would also be good with rice or mashed potatoes. I'll definitely be making this again.
