  7. 7

    Add cream to pan, mix and bring to a boil. Add chicken, with juices, to the pan and simmer while covered for 5-10 minutes. The sauce is supposed to be thick but if you prefer a “thinner sauce” you can add cream or chicken stock to the pan.

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
