Although chicken in cream sauce may sound fancy, it’s actually very easy to make and inexpensive. Ingredient preparation time is about 20 minutes and cooking time is also about 20 minutes.

Other meats such as turkey or beef may be substituted for the chicken, or even shrimp if you’re in a seafood mood. Use organic foods whenever possible.
