Add the thickened cream, Parmesan, honey and lemon juice. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil.

Return the chicken and any resting juices to the pan. Bring back to a gentle boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.


TO SERVE

Serve over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes and finish with extra Parmesan and fresh basil if desired..

Enjoy..💁🏻‍♀️


KIZZY'S TIPS

⭐ For extra flavour, brown the chicken well before adding the sauce.

⭐ Don't rush the sauce. A gentle simmer creates the creamiest texture.

⭐ Leftovers reheat beautifully.
