Tips for Creamy Mushroom Chicken

The sauce should look smooth and lightly coat the chicken; a grainy or separated appearance can result if the yogurt gets too hot.
Use a skillet wide enough for the chicken to sit without crowding so it browns rather than steams.
Let the chicken rest briefly before slicing; this helps keep the lean breast moist.

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; stir gently to help the yogurt sauce warm evenly.
