gramsI’m starting to think that we have a new hiring criteria in my husband’s company.
I mean, experience and skills are all well and good but do you have a veggie garden? Fruit trees? Do you fish on the weekend? Have you got a smoker?
It seems like every contractor has started bringing me produce from their gardens to cook with, and I’m 100% okay with that.
One of our tradies bought a huge bag of fresh mushrooms this week so I honoured them by creating this fabulous Creamy Chicken and Mushroom dish.
As a bonus, and by request, I made the sauce again last night and served it over fame-grilled steaks.
Just wait a moment while I wipe my drool from the keypad.
Try it yourself and tell me I’m wrong.
You might have to get your mushrooms the boring way, from the supermarket, but it will still taste incredible.
Promise.
Make it. Post it. Tag me.
Enjoy!
