Notes

Tips and Substitutions
  • Heavy whipping cream can be used in place of half-and-half if you desire a thicker, more luxurious texture. In this case, you might want to consider halving the cornstarch the recipe calls for.
  • You could also try other plant-based milk products if you wanted to make this dish dairy free. In this case, you might need to increase the cornstarch if the product is thinner than half-and-half.
  • If you don't have flaky poultry seasoning on hand, an Italian seasoning blend can be used instead in equal parts.
