BEFORE GOING IN THE OVEN
CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS
IN LEMON GARLIC CREAMY SAUCE
Incredibly delicious meal. I
loved the substantial tangy sauce (from the garlic and lemon juice) with all the mushrooms in it. This is definitely a recipe I look forward to making again soon! This is a particularly easy recipe too, which makes it even more attractive. I like easy in case you haven't noticed that before! Like most people out there, I'm so busy most days that easy, uncomplicated recipes are always most welcome.
