Mushroom Sauce Chicken Breast Recipe

In the previous post I explained how to prepare a creamy mushroom sauce in a very simple way and at the same time delicious. Today, I do not want to miss the opportunity to write the recipe for which I normally use this sauce: chicken breast with mushroom sauce. I must say that breast is the part of the chicken that I like the least as I have said many times in the blog, for instance in the recipe for chicken saute with rosemary and cashews. However, I eat it because I normally buy a whole chicken and many times I follow this recipe for juicy chicken breast with that tasty sauce.
