A work colleague and friend recommended a Hairy Bikers recipe on the BBC Food website and this recipe for creamy mushroom chicken appeared on the same page as a related recipe. I clicked into it to see if we had all the ingredients as it looked delicious. We did have all the ingredients, so out came 2 chicken breasts from the freezer and we had it for our evening meal that night. It’s a delicious dish with lovely moist chicken and a sauce that is so full of flavour, that is also surprisingly low in calories (391 per serving)…winner!!
The first time we had it we decided 'to be bad' and had some rice to go with it. The rice was great for soaking up the delicious sauce.
Tips
- We think this creamy mushroom chicken would also go well with some pasta or potatoes, or some extra vegetables on the side if you're looking to bulk it up a bit.
- The recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
