Creamy Mushroom Chicken Recipe
Description
The recipe begins with a spice mix combining paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and salt, which is rubbed over chicken thighs. Cooking the chicken in olive oil until browned for 12 minutes seals in juices and develops flavor. After removing the chicken, mushrooms cook in the same pan until browned, concentrating their earthy taste, followed by quickly sautéing garlic to release aroma.
A sauce is created by mixing cashew butter with water and adding it to the pan, scraping up browned bits for depth. The sauce thickens to a creamy consistency, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. Returning the chicken to the pan allows it to warm and absorb the sauce flavors. Garnishing with parsley adds a fresh herbal note.
This dish focuses on rich, creamy textures and hearty mushroom flavor combined with spiced, tender chicken thighs. It pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or potatoes for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 chicken thigh boneless
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 lb mushrooms sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons cashew butter
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- parsley to garnish, minced
Instructions
- Mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and salt in a small bowl then sprinkle the spices over the chicken.
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large cast iron (or other heavy bottomed) pan. Add the chicken and let it cook for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the chicken from the pan.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan and let them cooked until they are nicely browned, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Mix the cashew butter with 1 ¼ cups of water then pour it into the pan. Scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any stuck on bits then bring it to a boil. Let the sauce thicken then season it to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken back into the pan and let it warm for a couple of minutes. Serve the creamy mushroom chicken with a little parsley sprinkled over top.
