Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried thyme or Italian seasoning to the sauce. You can also deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine after cooking the mushrooms for a richer flavor.

Easy Substitutions

Swap chicken breasts for boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Use sliced button mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms instead of cremini. For a dairy-free option, use full-fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream, though the flavor will be different.
