This Chicken Diane Recipe is Named for a Roman Goddess!

Chicken and mushrooms in a creamy dijon sauce? YES PLEASE! If you’re like me, you love all of those things! I saw a rendition of this Chicken Diane recipe on Tiktok so of course I had to put my own spin on it! And I also needed to know where the name Chicken Diane even came from! After a brief search, it appears that Diana was a Roman goddess of the hunt and the sauce is named after her. I’m skeptical because the name is spelled different? Can you really trust what you read on the internet? (aside from my recipes, of course!)
