From the Test Kitchen

For delicious depth of flavor in this dish, we’re making an easy sauce for simply seared chicken by cooking earthy cremini mushrooms until tender with a savory duo of tomato paste and demi-glace (simply concentrated vegetable stock). We’re serving it all over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, which catches every bite of rich sauce.
