| 6 | Season with salt and pepper to taste. |
| 7 | Lower the heat and let the saute simmer gently for approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken is cooked through. |
| 8 | Serve hot, preferably with rice to soak up the creamy sauce. Enjoy your Minkabelle’s Creamy Chicken Saute! |
