Revolutionize Dinner Time: Decadent Crème Fraîche

This chicken recipe with crème fraîche and mushrooms is what my French mom made when I was an exchange student in France. It has been my favorite ever since! No one can make it like her, but this is very close. Serve with French bread or garlic bread if desired.
