For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the skillet along with the heavy cream. To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before searing. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon or two of chicken broth to thin it out. Serve with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
