Best Easy Creamy Chicken Mushroom Sauce Recipes

EASY MUSHROOM SAUCE FOR CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle all over with Herbs de Provence (or Italian seasoning).
• In a large cast iron skillet (or other oven-safe skillet - see note), combine oil and butter over medium-high heat.
• Once butter is melted, add the chicken and brown on each side for 1-2 minutes until you get a nice browned color. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• In the same skillet, begin preparing the sauce by adding the butter. Once melted, stir in garlic and mushrooms and sauté 2-3 minutes until mushrooms are browned and garlic is fragrant.
• Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, cook for two minutes at a high boil. Remove from heat.
• Return chicken to skillet. Spoon sauce over the chicken, then transfer skillet to the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce has reduced (it should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon).
• Spoon the mushroom sauce over the chicken and serve.

4-INGREDIENT CHICKEN WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Season chicken liberally with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken breasts and brown the meat on both sides (about 6-7 minutes per side).
• Transfer the chicken to an 11 x 7-inch baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray (or other similar size dish that accommodates the chicken).
• Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until tender (about 5 minutes).
• In a separate bowl, whisk together soup and wine. Stir in the mushrooms.
• Pour the soup mixture over the chicken. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
• Serve with rice or noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.

CHICKEN WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Split breast: Cut each breast in half horizontally to form 4 thin steaks in total.
• Dust with flour: Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with flour and use your fingers to spread it all over the surface.
• Cook chicken: Melt 15g butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook each side for 2 1/2 minutes until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove from pan, cover and keep warm.
• Cook mushrooms: In the same frying pan, add remaining butter and increase heat to high. Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes, until starting to turn golden brown on the edges.
• Add garlic later: Then add garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper, and continue cooking for another minute until both garlic and mushrooms are golden.
• Deglaze skillet: Add white wine - it will bubble and be steamy! Cook for 30 seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan, until wine is mostly evaporated and the alcohol smell is gone.
• Make creamy sauce: Add chicken stock, cook vigorously for 1 minute so it mostly evaporates. Then add cream, lower heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly.
• Add parmesan: Stir in parmesan, taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
• Finish chicken in sauce: Return chicken to sauce for 30 seconds (to warm through slightly.) Garnish with chives and serve as-is in the pan, for people to help themselves (or transfer to serving platter, if you prefer). Alternatively, serve a portion of chicken onto each plate, spoon sauce over and garnish with more chives.
• Sides: Ideal served with mashed potato or rice - something to soak in that amazing sauce! See Note 5 for suggestions.

CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until butter is melted. Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in wine, and allow to sizzle while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until wine is mostly evaporated, about 1 minute.
• Stir in cream and chicken broth, lower heat to medium, and simmer slowly, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens but does not separate, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in thyme and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE WITH MILK

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat; do not use a nonstick skillet for this sauce. Spray lightly with cooking spray; add mushrooms. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms just begin to release their juices. Add garlic and stir. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have released more juices and garlic is nicely cooked. Transfer mushroom/garlic mixture with juices to a bowl and set aside.
• Wipe the skillet out with a paper towel; you do not want burnt garlic bits in your sauce. Melt butter in the skillet over medium-low heat until beginning to bubble and foam. Sprinkle in flour and whisk continuously to form a roux. Once the roux has darkened slightly, add milk, a few tablespoons at a time, whisking smooth between each addition.
• When all of the milk has been incorporated, add mushroom mixture and juices back into the pan and bring to a very slow simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
