Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat.

Saute chicken 5 to 6 minutes, or until no pink remains. Remove chicken from skillet; drain and set aside.

Add remaining 6 tablespoons butter, the flour, salt, and black pepper to skillet, whisking constantly until butter melts. Slowly add chicken broth and cream, and bring to a boil, whisking until smooth and thickened.

Reduce heat to medium-low, return chicken to skillet, and add remaining ingredients. Simmer until heated through, stirring constantly.
