Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 8 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Trim and quarter mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus. • In a medium bowl, whisk together cream sauce base, stock concentrate, garlic powder, and 3 TBSP water (6 TBSP for 8).
• Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. • Drain and return potatoes to pot; mash with crème fraîche until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While potatoes cook, pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. (For 8 servings, you may need to work in batches.) Remove from heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Melt 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 8 servings) in pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 3-4 minutes. • Add vinegar and 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 8); cook, stirring, until vinegar is mostly reduced, 30-60 seconds.
• Transfer mushrooms to an 8-by-8-inch baking dish; top with chicken (for 8 servings, divide mushrooms and chicken between two baking dishes). Pour cream sauce mixture over top to thoroughly coat. • Arrange asparagus in bundles around chicken; sprinkle everything with mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper. • Bake on top rack until asparagus is tender and cheese is melted and lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. (Bake on top and middle racks for 8.)
• Serve mashed potatoes and chicken and mushroom bake family style or divide between plates. • Plate it up: Divide mashed potatoes between plates and top with chicken and mushrooms. Top chicken with any remaining sauce from baking dish. Serve with asparagus on the side.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
We loved this one! We did season the chicken with dried thyme just because we like herby flavor. We noticed that with the big batch dinners we usually love them but often find that we would love them more with additional herbs / spices added. This one was great, def a favorite for us! Please keep adding it as a menu option.
Good portion, fairly easy to put together and flavors that appeal to the whole family
Took forever to make but really good quality. One of the best tasting chicken dishes in a while
Absolutely amazing. The vinegar with the mushrooms in this recipe took this to a 5/5. Huge portions and an already craving this again!
Everything was so delicious!! The only thing was I needed to add some milk and butter to the mashed potatoes because they were a bit dry, but it was an easy fix!
I don't like the asparagus being cooked with the chicken and mushrooms. It's not necessary and I wanted to cook the asparagus longer than the rest. Also don't love the dominance of the vinegar in the sauce
Way too much asparagus to fit in the baking dish but the flavors were so good I didn't even care. Such a great comfort food meal!
Loved this! Had wonderful flavor with a lower calorie count. Also loved that we were able to have leftovers for lunch the next day. The leftovers were even better!! Will definitely order this again.
We loved the taste, however it took quite a bit of time to cook and the asparagus came rotten so we had to substitute with broccoli we had but overall the flavor was excellent and we would definitely order this again.
It was more work then expected but my husband and I loved it!
