Finally a low carb meal that I actually kept low carb! This recipe felt like it needed a carb though. This delicious, creamy sauce really needed pasta! I didn't have any pasta in the house, thank God, or I would have added it. 

If you're looking for an easy, delicious recipe, this is it. The heavy cream and parmesan does not disappoint. I mean, really a combo of mushrooms, chicken, cream and parmesan...how can you go wrong?
