The earthy mushrooms and juicy, tender chicken are roasted to perfection and then smothered in the most divine, creamy wine sauce. It tastes fresh from a restaurant, yet is quick and simple to prepare at home, with very minimal prep.

And at just 6 Smart Points per serving, this is an ideal light and tasty dinner recipe for a busy weeknight. If you want to make an average meal taste like you slaved away all day in the kitchen, this Mushroom Chicken with Creamy Wine Sauce is a must try. Enjoy!

Would this still be 6 points w/ the new Freestyle points? (Please help, I’m a newbie!)
This recipe is still based on Smart Points. I haven’t recalculated my older recipes to the new Freestyle Points yet. So, as of right now, the only recipes that are freestyle smart points are everything after Jan 1 2018.
I think I did the math right and that this would now be 3 points. Hopefully you’ll let me know if I’m wrong! Excited to try for dinner tonight. Xx
Actually, because of the heavy cream, this recipe still comes out to 6 Smart Points per serving. I calculated it in my Weight Watchers Recipe Builder, and the only ingredients I counted were the ones that were not 0 Points.
