I've been looking on the boards, and can't seem to find a relatively simple recipe for chicken breasts in some sort of creamy sauce. Anyone have anything good? Thanks...
Susan

My recipes are all very simple I cover chicken breasts with prepared Alfredo sauce (about 3 carbs per serving) and bake them at 350 for about 30 minutes, or until they're done. If I have more time, I put in more cheese, or saute mushrooms and pour them over the top, too. It's not exquisite, but it's edible

thank you! I'm not looking for elaborate, so that sounds just about perfect.

I use Campbell's ready to serve cream of mushroom soup as a "sauce". It has 8g carbs per cup, I don't use a whole lot per serving. Sometimes I fry some mushrooms and onions then mix in the soup. It's pretty thick.

I made this today. It's really good - I usually make a pot of it about twice a month because everyone loves it so much and it's easy.

Dice and saute half a large onion in a big pot or Dutch oven. Use some butter and olive oil. Cube from four to eight chicken breasts and add to the onion. Stir in salt (a teaspoon?) and lots of freshly ground pepper. Meanwhile, cook one 16-oz package of frozen broccoli or the equivalent in fresh, then drain and set aside. When the chicken looks cooked, stir in one 8-oz block of cream cheese. When that has melted, stir in 1/2 cup whipping cream (optional) and one can of condensed cream of mushroom soup. You can add one soup can of water for a gravy-like sauce, or up to three cans if you want to call it soup. Mix in the cooked broccoli, heat and serve.
As you can see, this is a pretty flexible recipe so I can't give you an exact carb count, but a normal serving is a complete meal and will be less than 8 carbs if you subtract the fibre.

Kay and Deirdre, I can't believe I never thought of cream of mushroom soup. Well, maybe I can, since in my former life all I ate was pasta
thank you again

There are several creamy chicken dishes here.
