A white ceramic plate of chicken with cream sauce sits on a rustic wooden table. The tender, sliced chicken is generously drizzled with a rich, creamy sauce and garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Beside the plate are a small bowl of extra cream sauce, a few parsley sprigs, and a folded linen napkin. Scattered around the table are fresh ingredients like celery, carrots, onion, and a small bay leaf. Soft natural light highlights the creamy sauce and tender chicken, creating a comforting and appetizing presentation.
