Notes
- serving size is one chicken breast with some sauce and mushrooms (about 1/4 cup)
- you can use 2% milk instead of coconut milk mixed in with some cream cheese to cut back on the calories. Use about a tsp of flour to thicken the sauce if needed.
- Use fresh mushrooms instead of canned mushrooms.
- another protein you can use would be shrimp.
- if you would like to use boneless chicken thighs that's fine too.
- you can use olive oil instead of avocado oil
- instead of parmesan cheese you may use Romano cheese
- consider using honey dijon mustard and just skip the honey.
