If you have been following me from the beginning you know that my husband is a picky eater. So putting mushrooms in this recipe was not an option but there’s always a way to add in the mushroom flavor.
The flavors in this dish complement one another perfectly. The creaminess in this recipe is a mix of cream of mushroom soup and one packet of mushroom gravy. I’ve added white wine for more of a richer flavor. The nutty and earthy taste of the wild rice along with the tender and flavorful chicken is a match made in heaven. Instead of having the broccoli on the side, I added it not only to create a one-skillet type of meal but also to allow the broccoli to absorb these wonderful flavors.
