Creamy Chicken Mushroom Recipe

This one-skillet Chicken Mushroom recipe is made with boneless and skinless chicken breast (or chicken thighs) cooked to juicy perfection and smothered in the best and most delicious Parmesan mushroom cream sauce.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breast (boneless and skinless)
• Salt to taste
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter (divided)
• 12 ounces mushrooms, stems removed and sliced ( (white button mushrooms, baby Bellas or cremini mushrooms work well))
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
• Chopped parsley or finely sliced chives to serve (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Prepare and season chicken: Slice the breast in half lengthwise to make 4 thinner cutlets. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season the chicken pieces with salt on both sides.
2. 2Dredge the chicken: In a small shallow bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture one by one. Set aside.
3. 3Brown the chicken: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and just cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm.
4. 4Cook the mushrooms: In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the mushrooms. Cook stirring occasionally for about 4-5 minutes or until the mushrooms look soft and a bit golden on the edges.
5. 5Make the mushroom sauce: Add the garlic and season lightly with salt and ground black pepper. Cook for about a minute.
6. 6Add the wine and cook scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook until most of the wine evaporates. Add the chicken stock and Italian seasoning and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until reduced by half.
7. 7Add heavy cream and Parmesan: Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for about 2 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until incorporated in the Parmesan cheese and taste.
8. 8Simmer and serve: Return the chicken to the skillet and allow the chicken to warm up for about a minute. Season to taste and garnish with fresh chopped parsley or sliced chives and serve.
