This looks perfect! I need to add this to our menu soon!

What a delicious dinner idea! I will make it tomorrow!

This is perfect any night of the week! A huge hit at my house!

Everyone at my house loved it! A huge hit!

I love having chicken for dinner and I love keeping things simple, so this works well for me on all fronts. And mushroom sauce - YUM!!

I'm always looking for fun recipes to make for my family. Looking forward to giving this a try.

This is such a yummy recipe. It's one of my husband's favourites. I must try your version.

This dish was so delicious! My whole family loved it! We will make this again!

This is delicious chicken and mushroom, great meal. Thanks for sharing it!

Chicken and mushrooms combined is heavenly! The kids really enjoyed this.  I will make it again. 

Wow, chicken and mushrooms are the best combinations! I loved your recipe and I can make it again for my family

It was my first time making this. I burnt the mushrooms a little haha but it turned out really well. Thanks for sharing this

I love this version of chicken and mushrooms. It is so easy to make yet so delicious!

Thanks!  This was the perfect recipe for my family. They just loved it. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this delicious recipe I just made it.

Delicious recipe and the sauce made the chicken tender.

I do seem to cook a lot of chicken and am always looking for new recipes. My family would love this and it sounds amazing

Chicken and mushrooms go together so well. This was a really tasty and simple recipe to follow, which was a hit with the whole family.

This was so delicious!  I love creamy dishes like this during the cooler months...it's just so comforting and easy to make too!

Sometimes simple ingredients make the best meal! I love the combination of thyme with chicken and it was delicious topped with the mushrooms

Yummy. My second time making it.  A lot like beef stroganoff but with chicken. Not sure "plating" of mushrooms and chicken is the quite right term-just removing and setting aside. Plating usually refers to arranging food on a plate to be served to a guest.  In this case, the "plated" items are just later returned to the pan.  Following the stroganoff link, I used sour cream instead of heavy cream--what I had in the fridge.  And if you are trying to save money, chicken thighs or legs (often on sale) work.  You can debone or just leave them to cook when you add broth to make sure they cook through. I'm also adding reconstituted dried mushrooms--a lot of flavor, and using the liquid instead of the broth, and serving over either homemade egg noodles (stroganoff) or tonight Italian Farro. The flavors in this recipe are delicious so lots of ways to use what you have.

Delicious!  Everyone loved it - definitely guest-worthy!

What a versatile recipe! I like a lot of veggies and had a lot on hand, so I included not only mushrooms, but also onions, yellow bell peppers, broccoli, and sun-dried tomatoes. I used the juice from the cooked veggies versus chicken broth (there was so much veggie juice, so that was perfect!). I didn't want my sauce to reduce by half because of all the extra veggies, so instead I added guar gum to the heavy cream, let it get to the point where it started to boil, and added all my veggies and chicken immediately. I served it on gluten free fettuccine and topped it with parmesan cheese. My son and I both devoured it! The next day, I added a dollop of pesto to one of my servings and that was delicious too. I will definitely make this again!! Thank you so much for sharing such a simple white sauce!
