Creamy Mushroom Chicken

Made it tonight! Had everything needed and it was fantastic! I did add a can of artichoke hearts quartered, and used fresh basil and parsley. I did up the crushed red pepper a bit, because that’s how we roll. This is my favorite ways to do mushrooms and your recipe is the first I’ve seen in a long time that instructs to do so.

This chicken mushroom recipe is about to become a mega comforting, intoxicatingly creamy favorite packed with umami pleasure.  It transforms boring chicken into juicy, golden chicken dripping with TONS of flavor and you will love my technique for the perfect caramelized mushrooms – no squishy, lackluster mushrooms here! Plus, you’ll love the bonus of creamy potato morsels in every bite. 

This creamy chicken mushroom recipe will have everyone licking their plates!  It looks and tastes gourmet but is quick, easy, pantry friendly and all made in one skillet.  This creamy mushroom chicken is made with lightly dredged chicken cutlets cooked until golden, caramelized baby bella mushrooms sautéed in butter and creamy Dutch potatoes all swaddled in the aromatic, Parmesan cream sauce laced with garlic and Italian herbs. I’ve included instructions on how to add baby Dutch potatoes directly to the mushroom sauce OR you can serve the creamy mushroom chicken over a bed of mashed potatoes, rice or pasta.  Throw in a big green apple salad and breadsticks and a 30-minute dinner just upgraded to gourmet!
