      I am a little confused, on the heavy cream do I use 3/4 cup or 12 oz? I am very excited to try this out but don't want to mess it up by using too little or too much cream!

        Hi Fran! Thanks for pointing out my mistake! I have edited the ingredients to show that 3/4 cup of cream is 6oz.

      This was delicious. I used 6 oz portobello, and 2 oz shiitake. It works well with chicken thighs, and I sliced them in thin strips before I added them back in. Could I suggest that you modify Step 7 to clarify: add 1 cup water (if you used a bouillon cube) OR BROTH? Thank you!

      I make this all the time but I cut the chicken breasts in the middle but not through it and add cream cheese and a slice of mozzarella and close it with tooth picks and brown first. then I place it in my baking pan and add all the liquid when it is ready but I place it in the oven covered with aluminum and bake at 350 for 45 minutes until done. I do use the liquid over my cooked penne. my family loves it

      Hi, I was wondering how many calories, carbs, and protein are in 1 serving of this? I am making the 2x portion size and adding 16oz of spaghetti pasta.

        Hi Cassidy, one fourth of the recipe as stated would have 358 calories, 9.2 grams of carbs, and 33.4 grams of protein.
