Print Recipe

Savor the comforting flavors of creamy mushroom chicken, featuring tender chicken in a velvety mushroom sauce that transforms any meal into a delightful experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup fresh cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh button mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté until mushrooms are golden brown and tender, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth while scraping up any bits stuck at the bottom of the skillet. Allow to simmer for about two minutes before reducing heat.
  5. Gradually stir in heavy cream while mixing well until smooth. Let it simmer gently for another three minutes to thicken slightly.
  6. Return the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the creamy mushroom sauce. Spoon some sauce over each breast and let them soak up all that goodness for about five minutes.
  7. Transfer to plates and drizzle with extra sauce if desired; garnish with fresh parsley for presentation.
