This Mushroom Chicken Copycat recipe replicates the savory, creamy flavors of the popular restaurant dish, featuring tender chicken breasts cooked in a rich mushroom and garlic cream sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add butter. Sauté mushrooms until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
  4. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and thyme. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over top. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • Button or cremini mushrooms work well in this recipe.
  • Pairs perfectly with rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta.
