Mushroom chicken is a savory, one-pan dish made with tender chicken breasts simmered in a creamy mushroom sauce. It’s flavorful, comforting, and pairs well with rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms (cremini, button, or baby bella), sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion or shallot, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1/4 cup flour (optional, for dredging or thickening)
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and dried herbs. Dredge lightly in flour if using.
  2. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sear for 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and sauté onions or shallots for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 6–8 minutes until browned and tender. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits.
  6. Reduce heat to low and stir in cream. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes to warm through.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite side.

Notes

Use thighs for a juicier option, or breasts for a leaner meal.Swap heavy cream for sour cream or cream cheese for a tangier sauce.White wine can be used in place of broth for added depth of flavor.Add spinach or peas for extra color and nutrition.Parmesan cheese can be stirred in for a richer finish
