Description

This Mushroom Chicken is a cozy, one-pan meal featuring golden seared chicken smothered in a creamy mushroom garlic sauce. It’s simple, hearty, and full of flavor—perfect for a weeknight dinner or when you want something a little extra without the fuss.


Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

For the Mushroom Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white button work great)

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, but adds richness)

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried thyme

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken:
    Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. Cook the Chicken:
    Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Transfer to a plate and set aside.

  3. Sauté the Mushrooms:
    In the same skillet, melt butter. Add mushrooms and cook for 5–6 minutes until browned and tender. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

  4. Make the Sauce:
    Add chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up the browned bits. Let it simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in cream, Parmesan, and thyme. Simmer for another 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  5. Combine:
    Return chicken to the pan and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer together for 2–3 minutes until warmed through.

  6. Serve:
    Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.



Notes

  • You can substitute the cream with half-and-half or a mix of milk and cream for a lighter sauce.

  • Add spinach or peas to the sauce for extra veggies.

  • Use bone-in chicken for even more flavor—just adjust cook time.
