Creamy Garlic Herb Chicken
This Creamy Garlic Herb Chicken is rich and flavorful and makes a fantastic main dish. The cream sauce contains garlic and a variety of herbs that combine deliciously. The mushrooms really add something spectacular to the meal. This will be a recipe that will become a new regular.
School is starting back up soon and it is so bittersweet. Meal time is super important to me, especially when school is in session because it allows us to really talk and hear about the kids’ day. This meal is a new favorite and has all of my favorite things.
Mushrooms are probably my favorite vegetable when they are cooked and sautéed. They pair so well with this dinner.
The sauce is seasoned to perfection beginning with garlic and then adding a variety of spices. It is rich but absolutely delightful. This meal will become a new regular in my household.

Just made this for dinner and my husband is raving! So delicious! We used the bone-in thighs and they turned out perfectly!
