1 Pan Creamy Chicken & Veggies
This creamy chicken and veggies has all the makings of a quintessential comfort
meal. Succulent, flavorful pieces of chicken are simmered in a velvety cream of mushroom sauce {no cans here!} You can add in your choice of veggies and it can be served over rice, quinoa, pasta, gnocchi or even top it off with biscuit/pie/pastry crust for a wonderful chicken pot pie. Every component is nicely wrapped up into one neat little dish and it can be made in one pan. How about that for a delicious, non-fussy weekday dinner idea that can be made in less than 20 minutes?

Hi Angela!
I know this to be a hearty and comforting dish because, I made something quite similar last night for dinner from leftover roasted chicken. No cans for me either. I made the creamy sauce with the chicken dripping and milk.
Your dish certainly looks “purtier” than mine though. Marion insisted on having hers on bread. I had mine with quinoa!
Thanks so much for sharing, Angela…I’m off to check out those Mini Oreo Wedding Cookie Cakes of yours:)
u had to throw in the bacon didn’t u!!! hahaha
That sounds delicious, Louise! I’ve been on a huge quinoa quick as of late too! Yummy =)
wow! yum. looks sooooo good!
This is a perfect winter meal and thank goodness not canned soup involved.
