A rich and savory mushroom chicken dish featuring tender chicken simmered in a creamy garlic and herb mushroom sauce. Perfect served over rice, noodles, or potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets (or boneless chicken thighs)
  • 3 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or other cooking oil)
  • 2 pounds button mushrooms (sliced (or cremini mushrooms))
  • ¾ cup sliced onions (quartered and sliced thin)
  • 4–5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1–2 tbs fresh thyme leaves)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ cup cooking sherry (or white wine)
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Set a large cast-iron skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil. Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken to the skillet. Work in batches if needed. Sear for 3-5 minutes per side until cooked through. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
  3. Add the onions to the same pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms and thyme. Sprinkle in the cornstarch and toss to coat. Sauté for 5-8 minutes, stirring regularly, until softened.
  5. Pour in the cooking sherry and chicken broth. Stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan, and cook for another 5-8 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
  6. Once the sauce reaches a light gravy consistency, stir in the heavy cream.
  7. Return the chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier result.
  • Cremini mushrooms can be used for a deeper flavor.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • Serve over rice, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
