The ingredients needed to make chicken with creamy mushroom sauce.

⏲ How to make chicken with creamy mushroom sauce

This is an overview of the recipe’s instructions. The full instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

  • Season Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to a mixing bowl and toss with Italian seasoning, salt, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.
  • Cook Chicken: In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add seasoned chicken thighs and cook on each side for about 5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan. If needed, cook 2 chicken thighs at a time in separate batches. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside. Do not wipe the pan out.
  • Cook Mushrooms: Reduce stovetop heat to low and, using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add butter and allow to melt. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and arrange them in an even layer. Sprinkle in ground thyme. Cook mushrooms until golden, about 1 minute, then gently stir to cook the other side.
  • Prepare Sauce: Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook for about 30 seconds before pouring in heavy cream and chicken stock, cooking until a sauce begins to form, about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the grated Parmesan and allow it to melt.
  • Garnish And Serve: Return the cooked chicken to the pan and spoon the sauce atop the chicken. Garnish with freshly-cracked pepper, red pepper flakes, and fresh parsley, then serve.

👉 Ingredient substitution suggestions

  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs: Bone-in chicken thighs will work; you will just want to de-bone them before cooking. Alternatively, chicken breasts will work instead here, but their cooking time may be slightly different, so be sure to watch them.
  • Avocado Oil: Substitute olive oil or any other neutral-tasting oil.
  • White Mushrooms: Cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, portobello mushrooms, baby bellas, or any other type of mushroom should work.
  • Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Diced fresh tomatoes, tomato paste, or even roasted red peppers will work here. You can also choose to omit these.
  • Heavy Whipping Cream: I suggest using heavy cream, if possible here. Otherwise, try using half-and-half; turn the heat to low and add 1 Tablespoon of butter.
  • Unsalted Chicken Stock: Use chicken broth, vegetable stock, beef stock, or beef broth. If the kind you are using contains salt, reduce or omit the added salt from the recipe. Another option is to use a dry white wine, like Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or Chardonnay, which can be subbed in for the chicken stock at a 1:1 ratio.
  • Grated Parmesan Cheese: Shredded Parmesan would be your best option, but you can also use grated Pecorino Romano, grated Asiago cheese, or grated aged Gouda.

✨ Variations

  • Squeeze in some dijon mustard for added flavor. Add this in once you’ve poured in the heavy cream and chicken stock.
  • Add a handful of fresh spinach to the sauce right before you finish it (after the Parmesan has already melted).
  • Sprinkle some finely chopped fresh chives on top as an additional garnish.
  • Sprinkle some freshly-zested lemon zest atop the final dish for some color and acidity.

〰 How to serve

➜ Cooking and recipe tips

  • You can cook the chicken in a cast iron skillet or a stainless steel pan. If you use a stainless steel pan, add an extra Tablespoon of oil to the pan to prevent sticking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken! If you do this, the chicken will steam instead of crisp up. Depending on the size of your chicken thighs and the size of your pan, cook the chicken in batches.
  • If you want an even thicker sauce, you have a few options. If carb content isn’t an issue, make a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed into some water until a paste forms, then whisked into the sauce while it cooks). For a low-carb option, ⅛ teaspoon at a time, whisk in xanthan gum or glucomannan powder into the sauce, until your desired consistency is reached.

💬 FAQs

How should chicken with creamy mushroom sauce be stored?

Store the dish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Can this creamy chicken and mushroom recipe be frozen?

No, I would not suggest this as the cream sauce will more than likely break once it’s thawed.

How should chicken with creamy mushroom sauce be reheated?

I’ve found that pouring in a splash of cream or milk before reheating helps to get everything incorporated again. The stored dish is then best reheated in a saucepan over low heat to avoid the sauce breaking. However, you can reheat it in the microwave in 30-second increments until warmed throughout.

Ingredients

Optional Garnishes (Not Included In Nutrition Info):


Instructions

  1. Season Chicken: Add chicken thighs to a mixing bowl and toss with Italian seasoning, salt, onion powder, paprika, and pepper.
  2. Cook Chicken: In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add seasoned chicken thighs and cook on each side for about 5 minutes until internal temperature reached 165 degrees. Do not overcrowd pan. If needed, cook 2 chicken thighs at a time in separate batches. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and set aside. Do not wipe pan out.
  3. Cook Mushrooms: Reduce stovetop heat to low and, using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Add butter and allow to melt. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and arrange in an even layer. Sprinkle in ground thyme. Cook mushrooms until golden, about 1 minute, then gently stir to cook them on the other side.
  4. Prepare Sauce: Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook for about 30 seconds before pouring in heavy cream and chicken stock, cooking until a sauce begins to form, about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in grated Parmesan and allow it to melt.
  5. Garnish And Serve: Return cooked chicken to pan and spoon sauce atop chicken. Garnish with freshly-cracked pepper, red pepper flakes, fresh parsley and serve.
