Creamy Mushroom Chicken

Creamy Mushroom Chicken This is an easy dinner idea. One pot, less than one hour. Serve with noodles or by itself. Must try easy chicken recipes at DearCreatives.com

When everyone loves their dinner, it's a win for me. Since we make a lot of chicken recipes, varying our meal planning is a must. 

Today's meal plan recipe is one that I adapted slightly. Most items you'll have in your pantry. Just grab your organic chicken breasts, fresh cremini mushrooms, baby spinach, and heavy cream. I always have fresh garlic on hand. Do you? If no,t add that to your list. 

It's pretty dark in my kitchen this time of year. Unless I am cooking in the morning, which isn't going to happen, cooking on the weekend, or heating up leftovers for lunch. I'm out of luck for daytime photos. But, at least this gives you an idea of how this dish looks while cooking.

Hello, one-pot meals. I love using my 5-quart copper skillet for meals like this. It is oven heat safe to 500 degrees and is awesome for cooking so many meals. From this dish, pasta sauces, and even baked macaroni. Yep, a new macaroni and cheese recipe is coming soon.

Notes for serving the mushroom chicken with Pasta 

If serving with pasta, follow directions on the package for al dente. Boil water about the time you are letting your broth, flour, and parmesan cheese thicken.

Serve with a pasta or mashed potatoes.

  • If serving with pasta, after the chicken is cooked, you can take out your chicken and cut it up into bite-sized pieces. You can chop your mushrooms up smaller, too.
  • On this day, we omitted the spinach in the recipe and used a garnish.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh Italian parsley.
