Creamy Dijon Chicken and Mushrooms Recipe
Who knew “chicken” could taste indulgent without any actual poultry involved? Vegan creaminess meets tangy Dijon for a saucy, fabulous weeknight dinner.
Earthy mushrooms cozy up with plant-based protein, delivering flavor that screams “restaurant quality” but barely requires effort.

Whipping this together is faster than pretending you have it all together after a long day.
Every forkful balances tang, richness, and umami, proving that vegan cooking can be both comforting and surprisingly sassy.
