Prepare a flavorful, one-pan chicken and mushroom dinner coated in a rich garlic butter sauce. This recipe is quick and perfect for a weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the same skillet. Cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat everything in the sauce. Cook for 2 more minutes until the chicken is heated through.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before adding the chicken back in.
  • You can substitute Parmesan cheese for some of the heavy cream for a garlic Parmesan flavor variation.
  • Serve this skillet dinner over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes to soak up the extra sauce.
