Chicken and Mushroom Scallopine was the perfect choice. Tender chicken fillets in a creamy mushroom sauce.... mmmmm who could want for more? Everyone enjoyed and it's definitely the perfect dish for a work night or would even be perfect for a dinner party where you prefer to spend more time with your guests than with your kitchen.
