Notes

To enhance flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking. Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms for a more complex flavor profile. This dish is wonderful served with a side of roasted green beans or asparagus and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. For best reheating results, avoid microwaving. Instead, reheat on the stovetop or in the oven, adding a splash of cream or broth if necessary for a smooth sauce.
