Cook a quick, flavorful one-pan meal featuring tender chicken breasts and savory mushrooms coated in a rich garlic butter sauce. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

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

Notes

  • Serve this skillet meal over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce.
  • For a low-carb option, serve over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken; cook in batches if necessary for better browning.
