This Mushroom Cream Chicken is an easy meal to put together without having to do much thinking, it takes about 30 minutes, and I normally make it during the week. It’s completely gluten and grain free, and you can make it Paleo by using coconut cream instead of sour cream. The mushrooms and sherry give a lot it of flavor, while sour cream makes it smooth and satisfying. Satisfying in a sense that you are not looking for munchies afterwards. I use whatever bone broth I have on hand, beef or chicken, and beef broth doesn’t interfere with the flavor at all. I serve it with rice or mashed potatoes, but I’m sure cauliflower mash would go well with it too.
