The only thing better than sitting down with the family for a satisfying Sunday night dinner is not spending all day in the kitchen preparing the hearty dish on the table. We love this creamy chicken and mushroom bake because it only takes about 15 minutes to get it in the oven and it tastes absolutely amazing. It’s rich, comforting and full of creamy, mushroomy goodness. We’ve made this with all types of mushrooms. We like baby portabellos best, but criminis and shiitakes are just as flavorful. This chicken bake is so good and so easy, it turns any evening into a special occasion.
