Creamy Mushroom Cheesy Chicken

My mom detests mushrooms so growing up I never ate them at home. Shame on her because they are delicious. The first time I tried mushrooms on a slice of pizza I almost fell backwards. What I’m trying to say is that mushrooms and cheese go great together. I love a cheesy slice of pizza with grilled mushrooms and in this case a cheesy chicken cutlet with sautéed mushrooms. This is very rich so I recommend serving it with steamed veggies or a colorful salad. I normally serve this with garlic mashed potatoes, broccoli, and carrots.
