Creamy Mushroom Chicken Recipe

Hey there foodies!

I just wanted to share with you my latest culinary triumph – Creamy Mushroom Chicken! It’s a recipe that I stumbled upon in an old cookbook and decided to give it a try. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint!

First things first, let me give you the ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Now, onto the cooking!

I started by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and then browning them in a pan with some olive oil. Once they were cooked through, I set them aside to rest.

Next, I added some butter to the same pan and sautéed some diced onions and minced garlic until they were fragrant. Then, I added the sliced mushrooms and cooked them until they were tender.

Once the mushrooms were done, I added a cup of chicken broth and let it simmer for a few minutes. Then, I added a cup of heavy cream and let that simmer as well.

To thicken up the sauce a bit, I mixed a tablespoon of cornstarch with some cold water and added it to the pan. I stirred it in and let it cook for a few more minutes until the sauce had thickened up to my liking.

Finally, I added the chicken breasts back to the pan and let them warm up in the sauce for a few minutes.

And voila! Creamy Mushroom Chicken was born.

I served it over some rice and it was absolutely delicious. The creamy sauce was the perfect complement to the tender chicken and earthy mushrooms. It was a hit with my family and I’m sure it will be with yours too!

So, if you’re looking for a new chicken recipe to try out, give Creamy Mushroom Chicken a shot. You won’t regret it!
