Nutritional data has not been calculated yet.A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting to love this recipe only because I've been disappointed lately by some "diet" recipes. This was a unique twist on chicken cacciatore. I loved - and I mean LOVED - the shiitake mushrooms in it. If you want to cut down the carbs more, use chicken broth instead of the wine.
