Chicken with Creamy Mushroom Gravy

     Well, I haven't been on here for a awhile and now I have several recipes that I want to tell you about. I mean yummy stuff! We will start out with tonight's dinner, which was chicken with creamy mushroom gravy, green beans, and mashed potatoes. Everyone loved it, and they said that they would like to eat it every week. I just love it when I find a recipe like that and it's easy too! I adapted this from a recipe that I found in the Gourmet magazine cookbook. I hope that you love mushrooms!
