1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried thyme)

Chef's Notes

For deeper flavor, use a mix of cremini and shiitake mushrooms.

Add cream off the heat to prevent curdling.

Reserve some crispy chicken skin from the rotisserie bird for a crunchy garnish.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with crusty sourdough bread or a crisp green salad. Ideal for rainy days, office lunches, or post-workout recovery meals.
