Description
Creamy garlic chicken and mushrooms in white sauce is a rich one-skillet dinner made with golden-seared chicken, garlic cream sauce, and tender mushrooms. Perfect over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.
Ingredients
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into 4 thin cutlets)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
8 oz white mushrooms, sliced
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 teaspoons cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thickening)
Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Season chicken cutlets with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt butter and add mushrooms. Cook 5–6 minutes until browned. Add garlic and Italian seasoning; cook 1 minute.
4. Pour in chicken broth and scrape the pan. Simmer 2–3 minutes, then stir in heavy cream.
5. Add parmesan and optional cornstarch slurry to thicken. Simmer 2–3 minutes more.
6. Return chicken to the pan. Simmer another 2 minutes. Spoon sauce over chicken and garnish with parsley. Serve hot.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, add cornstarch slurry or more parmesan cheese.
Use cremini mushrooms for a deeper flavor if preferred.
Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days.
Reheat gently on stovetop with a splash of broth or cream.
