Easy Mushroom Chicken features tender chicken breasts in a creamy, flavorful mushroom sauce made with beef broth, dry white wine, and a blend of spices. The creamy sauce, enriched with heavy cream, perfectly complements the chicken for a mouthwatering dish.

Ingredients

10 oz. mushrooms (button or baby bella work well)

2 tablespoons salted butter

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper, to taste

½ cup all-purpose flour

3–4 tablespoons olive oil

For the Sauce:

2 ½ cups beef broth

1 chicken bouillon cube or 1 tsp Better than Bouillon

1 teaspoon soy sauce (can sub Worcestershire sauce)

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon EACH: mustard powder, dried thyme

½ cup dry white wine

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1/3 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Coat each chicken breast lightly in flour, shaking off the excess.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F). Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden and softened.
  4. Add minced garlic to the skillet with the mushrooms and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant. Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, onion powder, mustard powder, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little cold water to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Pour in the dry white wine and stir. Let the wine reduce slightly for about 3 minutes, then add the heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  7. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken. Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until the chicken is coated and the sauce thickens to your liking.
  8. Serve the chicken hot, topped with the creamy mushroom sauce. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or a side salad for a complete meal.

Notes

Add vegetables like spinach or peas to the sauce for extra flavor and color.

Try different mushrooms like cremini, portobello, or shiitake for varied textures.

Substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and dairy-free butter for a dairy-free version.

Add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
