Mushroom Chicken is a hearty, comforting one-skillet dish made with seared chicken breasts and a rich, creamy mushroom sauce. Perfect for both weeknight meals and special occasions, it’s full of savory flavor and easy to make.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms (cremini or white button), sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion or shallots
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley or thyme (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the chicken breasts for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and sauté the onions or shallots for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and moisture has evaporated.
  6. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth and white wine (if using), scraping up any brown bits. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  8. Stir in the cream, Dijon mustard (if using), and Parmesan (if using). Simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  9. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for 2–3 more minutes to reheat.
  10. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot with your choice of sides.

Notes

For extra flavor, use chicken thighs instead of breasts.Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta to soak up the sauce.To make dairy-free, use full-fat coconut milk instead of cream and skip the Parmesan.Add spinach or kale toward the end of cooking for a nutritious twist.To store, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
