Creamy Mushroom Chicken with Crispy Onions
Description
This recipe highlights boneless, skinless chicken breasts gently pounded to an even thickness, seasoned, and pan-seared in butter for a golden crust. Baby bella mushrooms are sliced and sautéed in butter in the same skillet, releasing their moisture and concentrating their earthy flavor. Minced garlic is added for aromatic depth.
Chicken broth and heavy cream are introduced to deglaze and create a luscious, creamy sauce that coats the chicken. The dish is finished with a sprinkle of crispy fried onions for contrasting texture and optional fresh parsley for garnish.
This homemade skillet recipe produces tender chicken paired with a smooth mushroom cream sauce, suitable for serving alongside rice, potatoes, or vegetables to complete a comforting meal.
Ingredients
- 8 oz. baby bella mushroom $1.69
- 2 chicken breast $5.63, boneless, skinless, about 1.3 lbs. total
- 1 pinch salt $0.02
- 1 pinch black pepper $0.02
- 2 Tbsp butter $0.26, divided
- 4 cloves garlic $0.32
- 1/2 cup chicken broth $0.07
- 1/2 cup heavy cream $0.39
- 1/4 cup fried onions $0.37, crispy
- 1 Tbsp parsley $0.05, chopped fresh; optional garnish
Instructions
- Rinse and slice the mushrooms. Set the sliced mushrooms aside.
- Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Use a mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken until it is an even thickness, about ¾-inch thick. Cut each chicken breast into two pieces, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Add one tablespoon of the butter to a large skillet and heat over medium. Once the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides (about 5 minutes per side). Remove the chicken to a clean plate and cover with foil or an upside down plate to keep it warm.
- Add the second tablespoon of butter and the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté the mushrooms until they release all their water and the skillet begins to dry up again. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute more.
- Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and stir to dissolve any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon mushroom cream sauce over each piece. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes more, or until the sauce is slightly reduced. Top the chicken with the crispy fried onions and serve.
