What to serve creamy mushroom chicken with?

Creamy mushroom and spinach stuffed chicken pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad. The creamy sauce loves to cling to starchy sides like rice or buttered noodles too. Don’t forget crusty bread to soak up all that delicious flavor.

Start by sautéing sliced mushrooms with garlic and shallots until golden. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
