Tender chicken is smothered with a gravy-like mushroom sauce in this meal that is ready in no time. The chicken is quickly seared on the stove before the rosemary and mushrooms are added into the pan to be made into a creamy gravy. Sweet potatoes make an excellent side dish to this meal to mop up any extra sauce.
