Mushroom Chicken features tender chicken breasts in a rich, creamy mushroom sauce made with beef broth, white wine, and cream. This hearty, flavorful dish is perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a special gathering.

 

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

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 (or substitute with Worcestershire sauce)

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon mustard powder

½ teaspoon dried thyme

½ cup dry white wine (substitute options in notes)

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1/3 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Prepare the chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in flour, shaking off excess flour.

  • Cook the chicken: Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove and set aside.

  • Sauté the mushrooms: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned. Add extra oil if needed.

  • Make the sauce: Add garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Stir in beef broth, chicken bouillon cube, soy sauce, onion powder, mustard powder, and thyme. Simmer for 5 minutes.

  • Thicken the sauce: Whisk cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry. Slowly add to the sauce, stirring constantly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

  • Add the cream: Stir in heavy cream and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

  • Combine and serve: Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Let everything simmer together for 3-4 minutes to meld the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately.

Notes

Add vegetables: Add spinach, peas, or carrots to the sauce for extra color and nutrition.

Different mushrooms: Try cremini or portobello mushrooms for a more robust flavor.

Wine substitution: If avoiding wine, substitute with extra broth or a splash of white wine vinegar for acidity.
