I have always loved the combination of fresh mushrooms, rosemary, and thyme whether it may be in soups, stews, a pasta dish or a even a simple side dish of sauted vegetables. The addition of butter and cream gives a velvety texture and, of course, makes the sauce rich and creamy!
The great part about this creamy herb-mushroom sauce is it’s versatility. I have used this sauce as a base to make a creamy pesto pasta sauce. I’ve poured this over simple grilled chicken thigh fillets and even burger steaks! I sometimes put this over my rice, haha. It is THAT TASTY!
NOTE: Chicken bouillon powder can be bought in most grocery stores. You can also use Better than Bouillon Chicken Base or this homestyle chicken stock.

Yes, you can definitely make ahead then just reheat the sauce in a gentle simmer. =)
