Sounds tasty, does it matter what kind of herbs you buy the soft cream cheese with? This recipe Recipe Search: Basil Cream Chicken uses basil but does it matter if there is something else?

I like to top this kind of thing with parmesan, although with the cream cheese that would possibly be too much. Has anyone got any other tasty creamy chicken recipes?
