Creamy Mushroom Chicken in One Pan

This creamy mushroom chicken is an easy one-pan dinner made with tender chicken breasts, golden mushrooms, garlic, and a rich creamy sauce. It comes together quickly and is perfect for a comforting weeknight meal.

Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken broth
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Prepare the chicken: Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make thinner pieces. Season both sides with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Cook the mushrooms: Add butter to the same pan. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes until golden and tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
Make the sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Finish the dish: Stir in the Parmesan cheese and let the sauce thicken slightly. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over the top.
Serve: Simmer for another 2 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
