Description

Make restaurant-style creamy garlic chicken with mushrooms and fresh herbs in 30 minutes. This recipe offers rich, savory flavors perfect for an elegant weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 3 whole garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh herbs (thyme, sage, and rosemary)

Instructions

  1. Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken and cook on each side until cooked through and no longer pink. Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate covered with foil.
  2. Add 4 ounces sliced mushrooms and 3 whole garlic cloves to the same skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender. Remove the mushrooms and garlic and place them on the plate with the chicken.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the skillet. Whisk for 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Add 1/4 cup minced fresh herbs and stir to combine.
  4. Return the cooked chicken and mushrooms to the skillet. Toss everything to coat it in the sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • The fresh herbs add brightness that balances the richness of the cream sauce.
  • You can substitute the fresh herbs with 1 teaspoon of dried herbs if fresh are unavailable.
