Chicken Diane, a classic French dish, traditionally features pan-seared beef in a creamy sauce. But today, we’re putting a modern twist on this elegant recipe, swapping out the beef for tender chicken and infusing the dish with the earthy flavors of locally sourced wild mushrooms.

Why This Recipe Works:

• Seasonal & Sustainable: Utilizing locally grown or foraged wild mushrooms adds a unique and seasonal element to the dish, while supporting local businesses and minimizing environmental impact. I get mine from Enchanted Mushrooms in Llano. The are sold locally to Fredericksburg at both locations of Fresh Pickens.
• Flavor Explosion: The combination of rich chicken, creamy sauce, and earthy mushrooms creates a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
• Quick & Easy: This recipe is surprisingly simple to prepare, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

Tips & Variations:

• Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a touch of heat.
• Veggie Boost: Serve the dish with a side of steamed green beans or a simple salad.
• Make it Ahead: The sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving.

Enjoy this delicious and elevated take on a classic French dish! Remember to support your local purveyors and explore the wonderful world of wild mushrooms.

I hope you enjoy this recipe! Let me know if you have any questions.
