What is Chicken with Mushroom Sauce?
It is an Italian main course dish where Chicken is cooked for about 5 minutes or until golden brown along with spices such as Black pepper, rosemary, and parsley.
You can also use fresh thyme while searing the chicken.
This flavourful cooked chicken is then added in a creamy and rich Mushroom Gravy cooked in a large skillet, which takes this dish to a top-notch level.
White Wine and Chicken Stock are added in the Mushroom Gravy to make it more flavorsome and delightful.
In the end, the cream is added in the gravy to give it that rich taste and texture.
Chopped fresh parsley is used to garnish the chicken with mushroom gravy which gives it a hint of freshness too.
Ingredients
To make this dish, you will need boneless chicken breast. Chicken thighs also work great in this recipe so feel free to use them as well.
I have used a mix of butter and olive oil for pan-frying the chicken.
It gives a nice flavor to it.
You will also need butter and olive oil to make the sauce.
Garlic, onion, and herbs like rosemary and parsley go in the pan to make this chicken dish very flavourful.
To thicken the gravy, I have added all-purpose flour.
I have used simple button mushrooms as they were the only ones available to me. You can use any mushroom you find. Even a mix of 2-3 varieties works very well in this dish.
Finally, to make the sauce, I have added chicken stock, some white wine, and fresh cream.
To make chicken stock, I used Maggi stock cubes.
You can also use beef stock in place of chicken stock for a more intense flavor and a darker brown gravy.
Can I skip adding white wine?
White wine adds a lovely flavor to this dish but you can choose to skip adding it.
Replace it with chicken stock.
Serving Suggestions
This juicy pan-seared Chicken with Mushroom gravy can be served along with white Steamed Rice, Wild Rice or Pasta.
If you don’t prefer rice, you can serve Chicken Breast with Mushroom sauce on its own along with some mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables on the side such as beans, carrots, etc.

You can also serve it along with Cauliflower Rice or Zucchini Noodles, for a low carb option.
