Creamy Mushroom Chicken
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!

Melt the 2 tablespoons butter in 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken and cook for ⏱️ 4-5 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until golden and cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate, don't wipe out skillet.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Increase temperature to medium-high and add half of the mushrooms. Give them a stir to evenly coat in the butter then arrange mushrooms in an even layer. Cook mushrooms for ⏱️ 3 minutes per side or until golden. Once evenly browned, season mushrooms lightly with freshly cracked salt and pepper and give them a stir. Remove mushrooms from skillet and repeat with remaining mushrooms; transfer all mushrooms to a plate.
