Make Creamy Broccoli and Mushroom Chicken for a quick and delicious meal your family will love!

I'm told I'm weird because I LOVE mushrooms and can just snack on them raw as if they were popcorn. Does anyone else do this? I just love the texture and earthy taste. While I do enjoy eating them raw, mushrooms sautéed in butter is something I just cannot pass up and they are right here in this one-skillet meal of Creamy Broccoli and Mushroom Chicken.

This is such a cinch to make people. Season your chicken, brown it in a skillet, and then cook up your veggies. Add in some cream, cheese, and then add your chicken back in. Voila!

As a kid, I didn't like broccoli florets. I'd only eat the stems. Eventually, as I got older I got over my childish texture problem and really do enjoy broccoli… especially when it's covered in a creamy sauce like in Pasta con Broccoli. The florets do an amazing job of soaking up and trapping the sauce in between on those little buds. My two year old will just sit there for a minute or two sucking on the end of the broccoli and ends up eating the florets so I call it a win.

The sauce for this chicken is made right in the same skillet that you used for the chicken and veggies. And it's so easy! After cooking your veggies, pour in some cream and let it heat up until thickened slightly. Then mix in some Parmesan for flavor and thickness, season with a little salt and pepper and BAM! You are done! Serve it over rice or pasta, and dinner is served.
