My husband’s favorite dish, hands down!
Memorial weekend is such a long weekend, but a fun one. We all look forward to the three day weekend where we can go to the beach, grill out, and hang out with our friends and family. Its always a fun holiday and very low pressure might I add. But boy oh boy is it tiring! Everyone is out at the beach or community pool. There are crowds of people everywhere.
While I love the festivities of this three day weekend holiday, I am so exhausted when it is over. It’s like now Tuesday is here and I have to go back to normal every day life. I have done nothing but have fun all week! My fridge is usually pretty bare too might I add. So, on Tuesday I am struggling to make something for dinner. I don’t want anymore fried foods or to go out to eat.
This past Memorial Day I had to bring it back to basics. I got out some chicken and mushrooms and decided to cook that. I found this wonderful recipe that seasoned the chicken just perfect. Not only was this a quick and easy meal to make, it is a healthy meal to give you a bit of the break from the Memorial Day party food. This recipe is absolutely wonderful!
Quick Tip: Swap the basil for rosemary!

One thing that I love about this recipe is that I usually have all of the ingredients in the house at any time. So, it’s no trouble making this yummy dish. I like to serve this chicken with either wild brown rice or garlic potatoes of some sort. This makes an absolutely wonderful meal and its just so easy to make when you are not feeling like making anything to crazy. Or if you don’t want to leave the house! Another great reason to make this yummy chicken and mushroom dish! You will not miss out on anything by keeping it simple with this delicious dish!
