Mushroom Chicken

Submitted by Busy Lindsay

"This is quick, good and so simple! Great way to have chicken and mushrooms minus the cream sauce. This is so flavorful; it doesn't make a sauce but doesn't need it. Great with rice pilaf and veggies, or a side salad and rolls."

My dh and I really enjoyed this. Unfortunately, the kiddos didn't care for it, otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. I substituted broth for the cooking sherry, used chicken breasts for the meat eaters and Quorn cutlets for the vegetarians. And I have to admit to adding all the extra mushrooms in the package. But I kept picking at them while cooking, so the family probably got the amount listed. I've added this one to my recipe book and will make for DH and I whenever it's just the 2 of us!! Can't wait!!
