  • Oven 40 min

    Replace step 4: cover the pot of sauce and simmer the chicken on the middle rack of the oven at 165 degrees for 18 minutes; about 3 minutes longer than on the stovetop, but the stable heat will make the chicken tender and juicy, the sauce won't burn, and you won't need to stir. Add the cream in step 5 after removing the pot from the oven.
