DH and I polished this off. I used half as many breasts and the full amount of other ingredients. This was my first attempt at cooking with half-and-half and it came out very very creamy. I will add a little bit of milk to thin the sauce a bit the next time I make it, and add a bit less garlic paste. Also, I have no coconut oil, so I used ghee. I served it with basmati rice (boiled with 2 garlic cloves chopped, a shake or two of Maggi chicken flavored bullion and about 1Tb chopped onion). Thank you for this recipe. I'll try to take a picture the next time I make this.
