This was easy to put together for a very flavorful meal. I used some large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I don't usually care for chicken on the bone). I love mushrooms, so this was a special treat. I did use the cream, but I kept wishing for a thicker consistency to the sauce. I served this over brown & wild rice along with some steamed lemon broccoli. Thanks for sharing this!
