Outstanding Chicken Dinner

"An excellent taste for chicken - quick and easy to make! Boneless chicken breasts may also be used. My sister gave me this suggestion, and when I tasted the cream sauce she made for the chicken - WOW - I couldn't wait for the whole meal! If there are any ingredients that you don't like, such as mushrooms, or artichoke, simply omit them. It is the sauce that is the stunning aspect - and not the traditional 'canned soup' sauce!! ENJOY!!"
