Creamy Garlic Mushroom Parmesan Chicken

Today is one of those days that I am not in the mood for much. I am totally exhausted from fixing this house and making everything perfect so today I am totally taking a break from it all.

Dinner is also one of those quick and easy ones Creamy Garlic Mushroom Parmesan Chicken. My little one will be really excited when he gets home to see there’s a hot meal awaiting him.

Yes, I know I am one of those crazy mums that always has food in her home, I mean literally a cooked meal. Sometimes my friends pop over and I will have a whole dinner prepared by 10 in the morning.

I have the most energy in the mornings and it’s when I can really get on with things. Come afternoon I am exhausted and fatigued and really don’t have the energy to do much, I can blame that on my thyroid.

But don’t get me wrong I still have to be chauffeur, feed my 10 year old only about 50 times from the time he gets home, help with homework and projects and whatever else.

Today I attempted to use my professional camera for the first time, so if my food pics are looking a little off sorts please know it’s my very first attempt at food photography using a professional camera.

I was really afraid to use a camera, don’t know why but I am so proud of myself because I finally took the plunge  and I know with time I can only get better. Another thing I can scratch off my bucket list.

It’s truly amazing how far I have come in terms of my confidence and my ability. Hopefully you will be seeing better quality images as I’m not giving up now.

This Creamy Garlic Mushroom Parmesan Chicken is so delicious with extra garlic, just the way we love it but you can cut down on the garlic if you prefer. Although I don’t think you can have too much garlic.

I also used Chicken breasts for this dish but I think chicken thighs can work just as well, may just need a little more cooking time. I added some Cajun spice to my chicken, only because I am the queen of spice….lol! But you will not be disappointed.

Please try this dish and let me know your thoughts.
