WARNING: This will probably ruin your diet - Chicken Georgia

Yes, this chicken may ruin your diet, but I assure you it’s totally worth it. In fact I accidentally cooked this for someone who was (yes past tense) on a diet. Of course at the time didn’t know and was about to say “this should be pretty healthy” when I realized it was a Paula Dean recipe involving a stick of butter. . . oh yeah and cheese. Whoops. But as Paula Dean says “"I'm your chef not your doctor.”

“Needs more butter y’all!!"

So the recipe is as follows. It is fairly quick and very delicious. This was in fact the first time I had ever cooked with fresh mushrooms. I like many others before me have often been scared of raw vegetables and have gone for the canned stuff, but truthfully it was very easy and inexpensive. I would recommend that everyone give it a try. The final verdict is that I will definitely be making this again.

Make the right choice ;)
