Chicken With Creamy Mushrooms and Sugar Snap Peas

GREG IN SAN DIEGO's Note:

This is a quickly and easily prepared one-pot dish. I serve it with baked potatoes and a green salad lightly dressed with oil, vinegar and cracked pepper. Don't be alarmed by the number of preparation steps in this recipe. I try to make all of my recipes very detailed to eliminate any guessing or possible mistakes. This is very, very easy to assemble.The recipe is adapted and modified from one I saw in "Food Network Magazine."
