Creamy Chicken and Mushrooms

Submitted by basia1

"My guests really enjoyed this dish - in fact, they asked for the recipe, so I thought I would share it with all of you. It was easy, tasty, and had a nice presentation. I used soy milk rather than skim, and not one person noticed.(from Dec 2002 Cooking Light magazine) I served with a nice salad. Enjoy!"

Excellent recipe! I lowered the carbs further by using Atkins ThickenThin to replace flour; and Hood's 2% Carb Countdown milk. I didn't serve over noodles but have them available for my guests.
