    There are certain meals that just work for those days when you are stuck inside. Rain, cold temperatures, or feeling under the weather can leave anyone craving a warm, savory meal. This Creamy Chicken with Wild Mushrooms is a healthy and cozy dish that you can take the time to enjoy.

    The combination of mushrooms, herbs, and chicken gives this meal an irresistible, earthy flavor that will please any diner.

    Creamy Chicken With Wild Mushrooms

    This dish incorporates some of the best Paleo foods for a meal that is packed with healthy fats and vitamins while still tasting sublime. The tarragon in this dish provides a punch of antioxidants while adding depth to the flavor palette.

    Try to avoid replacing the fresh herbs in this recipe with jarred spices – there are many ways that you can save your extra herbs for later use.

    Also, make sure to consider ways to safely locate wild mushrooms (if you choose to seek these out yourself, make sure to do your research and only gather ones that are safe for consumption).

    Many local farmer’s markets will have vendors who specialize in this item, and some grocery stores may carry them seasonally. In a pinch, you can replace these with other mushrooms, such as cremini.

    This is a great dish for dinner when served with a side that can balance the earthy flavor and textures of the meal. Try pairing it with the Grilled Zesty Sweet Potatoes for a “fall-themed” dinner.

    This meal is also wonderful for freezing and reheating for a light but satisfying lunch. Consider doubling up your recipe to make several meals in advance!
