Prepare a simple, flavorful one-pan creamy mushroom chicken dinner quickly on the stovetop.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the same skillet and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the broth simmer and reduce slightly for 2 minutes.
  7. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce warm through for 1 minute.
  8. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
  9. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Serve this skillet dish over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, let the broth reduce longer in step 4 or add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of cold water before adding the cream.
