4. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Add the pickles.  Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

6. Add the water.  Ok, at this point, you can skip steps 7 and 8 and proceed to step 9.
I added gherkins brine instead of water and it tasted too sweet/ sour :p  I added the cream and cheese
just to help balance the flavours.  It turned out good though! :)

7. Add the cream.

8. Add the cheese.

9. Put the chicken back in the pan.  Let simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked.

10. Add the parsley.

11. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

12. Plate and Enjoy! :)
