I made this for dinner last night. I didn't add any wine as I didn't realize I didn't have any white at home once I started cooking, I do think that would make it even better though :) I added sliced mushrooms and frozen green peas to it which was awesome. I didn't add the sour cream to the sauce but served it as a dollop on the top due to my DH being picky about sour cream in sauces although he did eat his with sour cream surprisingly :) This is a great quick meal!

Very nice! This dish comes together quickly and easily. The smooth flavors would lend very nicely to a wide variety of additions. This is wonderful when it comes to a busy weeknight since you are making the same dish you made last week but this time you added xxxx so it isnt the same old same old. You are your mom did a wonderful job with this one and I am sure busy chefs will be thanking you for quite some time. I followed this recipe to a T this time and served it with pasta. I think we would prefer it with egg noodles or potatoes over the penne I used but live and learn. Another thing that makes this dish so versatile! One time rice, next time potatoes...etc... Next time I will try some smoky paprika and a touch of hot paprika or some cayenne for a bite. Some herbs might be great in here as this dish is subtle and mild in flavor. I did have a difficult time getting the sauce as thick as I wanted it- I prefer a thicker sauce with penne- but the consistancy was perfect for any other starch listed already. Also, be prepared that the sour cream with thin the sauce a touch. Very nice dish Diva!

This was more of a 3.5 star recipe for me, but I am rounding up. I followed a lot of other reviewers suggestions -- nonfat sour cream, decreased the broth by one third, doubled the cornstarch, and added mushrooms, peas, oregano, and a touch of cayenne. All of these additions worked out really well. Thanks, Mommy Diva!

A quick and tasty rendition of a classic. Mine was a reduced fat version made with nonfat sour cream and cooking spray instead of oil. like another poster, I found the sauce to be a bit thin and next time would reduce it a bit more before adding the flour slurry. I did not have mushrooms, they would have worked quite well here. Served this with whole wheat noodles and steamed green beans for a great comfort meal.

I am adding this to my regular rotation of recipes. I started out with 3 cloves of fresh minced garlic (instead of power) sauteed in the pan and then put the chicken in. I then added vegetable broth and creme fraiche instead of sour cream. I added 8 oz instead of the half cup becuase I also like it a little more creamy. My husband loved it and asked when we could have it again!
