I tried this with fat-free half and half instead of heavy cream to cut out some of the fat. It's less creamy that way, but you can add more parmesan cheese to compensate, or possibly cook longer to reduce further.

I made this with chicken, to make chicken a la vodka. Take about 1.5 lbs of boneless skinless breast cutlets (4 or 5 cutlets), pounded 1/4 inch thick, and dredge with flour. Brown on all sides in a skillet and set aside. Add chicken to vodka sauce mixture for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
