This was easy to make. My mom and dad enjoyed it. I seasoned the chicken with salt and pepper before cooking. I doubled the leeks and the sauce so we'd have some extra to go over noodles and also used fresh tarragon. (about 1/3 cup because of the doubled sauce) I must confess that I added a 1/4 cup of heavy cream near the end of cooking to make it rich tasting. So much for the 'good for dieters', huh? It was delicious. -
I used 2 chicken half breast and used the remaining ingredients and served it over pasta. Very tasty and so easy to make. -
WOW this was wonderful.. I used fat free evaporated milk and it was still very creamy. The only different thing I did was I did not use pam I used extra virgin olive oil and I did salt and pepper the chicken before I cooked it. -
This recipe is so delicious and creamy that it doesn't taste healthy at all! When I make it,I double the amount of sauce and add summer squash to the pan with the leeks. Then I top with halved cherry tomatoes. Served over rice or noodles it makes a tasty meal. -
Sensational! and I do not use that term loosely! This was extremely superb plus FAST and easy! The hardest part of this was cleaning the leeks! lol This smelled amazing as it was cooking so I knew then I HAD to double the sauce! Since this is so low cal and low fat I could do that without batting an eye! I was tempted to hike the heat and get it done faster due to a crazy day but this cooked so fast I really didn't need to do that and reaped the benefit of cooking it at a lower heat. Too high would not result in the beautiful brown tidbits that form at the bottom of the pan and release an amazing flavor and aroma when the liquids are added. This tastes so bad for you but is not! I love fast and simple recipes that taste like they are sinful but weigh in very light! Thank you so much for sharing such a divine recipe! We were bad and had this over egg noodles but would be equally good with some brown rice or my recipe#145147! Since we were eating well we could really enjoy the Pinot Grigio we had with it AND even could indulge in dessert! Thanks Chipotle Chick! You rock! PS.. we also had a side salad! :)
