Mushroom Chicken With Brandy Sauce Recipe – tender chicken tenderloins and fresh baby Portobello mushrooms, seared in a pan and cooked with flavorful brandy sauce.
Hey guys, how are you? Ready and excited for the first day of Spring tomorrow?
I’m so ready!
I’ve been happily enjoying the warmer weather this and last week and also trying to think of lighter spring meals.
Today’s dish is also a part of the Blog Hop I’m participating in. I only had to cook one recipe from Bam’s Kitchen, but after visiting her blog I had my eyes on this simple, very flavorful and delicious Mushroom Chicken With Brandy Sauce.
So I decided to just cook a sweet and savory dish from her blog.
This made a perfect Sunday lunch. You can serve it with mashed potatoes if you’d like. I was not sure if I was posting the dish on my blog, so I apologize for the lack of pictures, I was just rushing to cook lunch.
To be honest I have a similar recipe, that I often make, but the difference is that the sauce is made with white wine. When I saw brandy in this one, I knew it was going to be tasty. The sauce is very smooth and aromatic. Totally gluten free and the whole dish comes together in around 30 minutes.
I love mushrooms and used baby Portobello in this chicken dish. The original recipe calls for button mushrooms, just use whatever you prefer.
This is the perfect light dish for the mushroom, chicken and brandy lovers out there.
