Mozzarella Mushroom White Wine Chicken
Description
The Mozzarella Mushroom White Wine Chicken recipe starts by slicing large chicken breasts into thinner pieces, seasoning them with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, then coating lightly with flour before pan-searing in olive oil and butter. After browning both sides, the chicken is removed while mushrooms cook in the same skillet. The mushrooms soften and brown in butter, then white wine, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning are added to create a flavorful sauce. The chicken returns to the pan, topped with freshly grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella, then baked until the cheese melts and bubbles.
This dish offers a combination of textures and flavors: tender chicken with a golden crust, soft mushrooms in a buttery, wine-infused sauce, topped with a creamy layer of cheeses. Its balanced savory notes come from the Italian seasoning and the umami depth of cremini mushrooms. The preparation involves stovetop cooking and a brief oven finish to melt the cheese, integrating the components nicely.
Serve this chicken with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce. The recipe suggests an oven-safe skillet, but if unavailable, transfer to a baking dish before finishing under the broiler or in the oven. Fresh parsley sprinkled on top provides a mild herbaceous note and visual appeal.
Use an oven-safe skillet for finishing the dish or transfer to a baking dish if needed.Ensure chicken pieces are cooked through before adding cheese for best texture.
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breast cut in half lengthwise
- 1/2 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
- 1/2 cup white wine dry
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped finely, fresh
Instructions
- Cut the chicken in half lengthwise to make 4 thinner pieces. Sprinkle the chicken with garlic powder and salt & pepper on both sides, then coat the chicken in flour.
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, cook the chicken for 4-5 min/side until golden. Transfer chicken to a plate. I like to chop the mushrooms while the chicken cooks, but feel free to prep ingredients beforehand.
- Add the remaining butter to the skillet and once it melts, add in the mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms release their water and then get a nice sear (about 5-6 minutes).
- Stir in the wine, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce bubble for about a minute, and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the chicken back into the pan and spoon the sauce and some mushrooms over top. Take the pan off the heat.
- Top the chicken with the parmesan, followed by the mozzarella. I like to sprinkle the majority of the cheese over the chicken, but also sprinkle some on the sauce if you wish.
- Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 5 minutes, then turn the broiler on and cook for an additional few minutes or until the cheese has browned a bit. If you don't want to broil, I recommend leaving it in the oven for 7 minutes or so.
- Take the pan out of the oven and sprinkle the fresh parsley on top. Serve immediately (spoon the juices over rice or mashed potatoes or whatever you're serving it with).
Notes
- If you do not have an oven-proof skillet, transfer the chicken and sauce mixture to a baking dish before adding the cheese and finishing in the oven.
