For some reason people think creamy sauces are tricky, or require a can of soup. Personally, I have taken a vow to never make any recipe again that lists a ‘can of soup’ as an ingredient.
This super easy creamy mushroom chicken recipe is ready in under an hour and is an amazing one-pot meal. I paired this up with a bag of cabbage salad and it was delicious. Give it a try for yourself!
