Creamy sauce chicken
I love to share my cooking through instagram stories, and this particular recipe had a lot of positive feedback so I am very happy to share this one with you!
The star of this dish is the creamy creamy yummy sauce, the mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts pair perfectly with all the other components of the dish. This sauce looks and tastes so fancy, but it is anything but that, you can make it any day of the week because it does not involve a lot of prep or cooking.
Considering our creamy sauce is packed with flavor, the other 2 components are simple to enjoy topped with the sauce. The chicken breasts are cooked in a pan with only salt and pepper, and the fluffy white rice with our chicken stock. This recipe needs no more than these 3 beautiful components that when combined melt in your mouth.
To finish this dish, I just chopped some spinach which gives it a fresh twist, green beautiful color on top, and when everything is mixed together the spinach starts to slowly wilt and blend perfectly.
