What Are The Best Mushrooms for This Recipe?
I like using a basic white button mushroom when I make Keto Alice Springs Chicken because it gives a great flavor and they are inexpensive. If you wanted to use a different mushroom, another great tasting choice is baby bella mushrooms. You can use whatever kind of mushrooms you have on hand and each one will add a slightly different flavor. However, you don’t have to look for a speciality mushroom because the dish is covered in a rich sauce and cheese and the flavors of the mushrooms do not always shine through.
