Ok so a bit confusing, sounded easy enough but I had a few problems, I have been a bit brain dead lately so could just be me, please let me know. I had a hard time with the crust should it coat the whole piece of chicken or just one side? What temp do you cook on after you add the wine? It said to reduce sauce but I had very little left after five minutes so I had to deglaze pand with chicken stock and additional wine then thicken like a gravy before I added the cream. Then end result was good but I am sure not the intended one. Message to the author: please let me know what I did wrong because the flavors sound great and I am positive it would be wonderful if I could figure it out......
