Chicken Sauce with Mushroom

Chicken Sauce

I was at a party the other day and was surprised at how much Chicken sauce is gradually taking over from tomato and pepper stew. Today I bring some variety to chicken sauce and that is Chicken & Mushroom sauce which is a dish that can easily be on your menu list for Valentine’s day and any other special event. Yes chicken is now a meat we can afford to eat outside of christmas thanks to the frozen version. My friend Eno called over the weekend that she was stopping by at my place. For a friend that has not been at your place for some time I had to ‘represent’ as we say in Nigeria. I had all my ingredients at home so it was an easy-breezy one for me to fix. By the time I heard her car horn, lunch was ready.

We gisted, laughed, and talked about our love life, after all it’s Valentine’s month. My idea of this special day is to have a great dinner with excellent wine, good music and listen to my hubby tell me sweet nothings. What’s your idea of this special day.?

Chicken and mushroom sauce will now be my go to meal when I have short time to prepare a meal. In place of the flour which I used, you can replace it with boiled potatoes. Get your ingredients and cook away. Enjoy!
