Creamy White Wine Mushroom Chicken
Description
Creamy White Wine Mushroom Chicken involves cutting chicken breasts into thinner pieces, seasoning with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then coating in flour before searing them to develop a golden exterior. Separately, cremini mushrooms and Italian seasoning are cooked down in butter until their moisture evaporates, allowing their flavor to concentrate. Minced garlic is added briefly for aroma.
White wine is introduced to deglaze the pan, lifting the browned bits and reducing by half to concentrate flavor. Heavy cream is then stirred in, providing richness and body to the sauce. The chicken returns to the pan, cooking gently until cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly. The final flavor profile balances the earthiness of mushrooms and the brightness of wine with the smoothness of cream.
This chicken recipe is served hot, and the creamy mushroom sauce complements the tender chicken breasts. It fits comfortably as a main course for a dinner where a well-rounded sauce is desired. Adjust seasoning at the end if necessary.
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breast
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- flour for dredging
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup white wine dry
- 3/4 cup heavy cream aka whipping cream
Instructions
- Cut the chicken in half lengthwise so you have four thinner pieces. Sprinkle them with the garlic powder, season them generously with salt & pepper on both sides, and then coat each piece in flour.
- Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes.
- Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes/side or until golden. Transfer to a plate.
- To the skillet, add in the remaining butter, mushrooms, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5-6 minutes or until the water has been released and then cooked off.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for about a minute.
- Add in the white wine and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the sauce bubble for about 2-3 minutes or until the liquid is reduced by half.
- Stir in the cream, then add the chicken back to the pan. Let it cook for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has reduced/thickened up a bit. Season the sauce with extra salt & pepper as needed.
