Tender Chicken with Creamy Mushroom Sauce, you can't get much better than that.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most creamy sauces involve dairy of some sort. So when you think dairy free, you think oh no you can't possibly create a creamy sauce - wrong!!  You can and this sauce is amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had to do a stint of dairy and gluten free for a little while for health reasons and that in turn meant I had to get really creative in the kitchen, so that I didn't miss out on foods I loved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I soon realised that there are a huge amount of people out there, who can not consume certain ingredients - gluten and dairy being the main ones, and so I got lots of messages of thanks, when recipes that were free of these ingredients started appearing on my blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, where possible, if I can suggest a gluten\/dairy free option I will on the majority of my recipes and occasionally like this recipe here, create it totally free of those ingredients  just because it tastes damn good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I make this Chicken with Creamy Mushroom Sauce, I often like to serve it with my R<\/span>oasted Cauliflower rice<\/span><\/strong><\/a>  - if you haven't yet tried this you really must, it's a great way to add speed foods to your plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the only time you have tried cauliflower rice was by cooking it in the microwave and hated it, then you really need to give it another try. The flavour it takes on when roasted is delicious and served against the creamy mushroom sauce of this chicken dish, it's a perfect combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course if you really do not want the cauliflower you can serve this Chicken With Creamy Mushroom Sauce, with any side you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do you make a creamy sauce without dairy? - the key is coconut milk  and please use the full fat stuff that comes in a can - but wait, I hear you shout, we can't have full fat on Slimming Eats. Well actually we can have anything we like, and despite the full fat, the small amount you need for this recipe is really not too high in calories. It's totally worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to use Aroy-d coconut milk<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> as the ingredients are just coconut extract and water, some coconut milks have stabilisers in them and all kind of other ingredients, also the coconut extract to water ratio can vary, so different coconut milks will have different values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
