    Skillet Chicken in a Creamy Garlic Mushroom Sauce… what a mouthful of words, but I had to throw everything in that I could to describe this recipe… it’s that good!

    You guys… I’ve been so tired from the big move recently.  And when I get tired, I want some serious comfort food (have you noticed lately?!).  I just can’t say enough how happy I am (we are) to finally be settled.

    I didn’t realize how out of shape I was until I started climbing all of these steps.  I woke up after about 3 days with my calves on FIRE (OUCH!).  I guess climbing steps with boxes about 20+ times a day would probably do that.  Thank goodness the pain has gone away, although I’m not complaining.  This home is so totally perfect for Brian, me and Baby.

    So after all of those calories I probably burned moving (hopefully?)… I find it totally acceptable to indulge in some comfort food for a short while.  🙂

    This recipe is SUPER easy to prepare, and the best part is that it’s in ONE SKILLET which means minimal cleanup.  A win-win situation here!  Creamy sauce surrounded by mushrooms and perfectly seasoned with garlic and thyme.  Pair it with a salad for the ultimate easy weeknight dinner.

    If you’re a mushroom lover like me, this is definitely a MUST-MAKE.  Enjoy!
