    This was one of the few recipes that actually took the amount of time as advertised so it was ready in a short amount of time. It was easy, absolutely delicious, and will definitely be a keeper in my dinner rotation. My only question is: Why wasn’t the butter included in the directions? I used it to cook the mushrooms along with the remaining liquid in the pan after cooking the chicken.

    This was fantastic! Only thing is I did double the ingredients on the sauce because I like it extra saucy and I added more mushrooms. But absolutely delicious.
