Five-Ingredient Creamy Mushroom Chicken with Cashew Cream

You are FIVE ingredients away from a super delicious and hearty dinner of creamy mushroom chicken with cashew cream. That’s right, just five ingredients and dinner is served.

Creamy Mushroom Chicken with Cashew Cream

There’s more 5-ingredient goodness from where this recipe inspiration came from. Have you guys seen Jamie Oliver’s new book 5-ingredients – Quick and Easy Food? The whole book is dedicated to dishes that take 5-ingredients to create — not including pantry staples like olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. I know the five-ingredient trend is big but I have to say that most recipes I’ve seen have been less than inspiring. Jamie’s recipes are different in that they’re not only easy, but they also have an elegance to them. I’d proudly serve any of them to guests. Each of the recipes I’ve tried have been amazing but this creamy mushroom chicken has been on regular rotation.

Creamy Mushroom Chicken with Cashew Cream

Jamie’s version uses half-and-half but I didn’t have any in the fridge, so I decided to substitute cashew cream. And that’s the magic of cashew cream; all you have to have on hand are raw cashews and water, and voila, you have cream on demand. Not only that, but you can make “half-and-half” or “whipping cream” simply by adjusting the amount of water you add. All of this convenience plus cashew cream is delicious!
