Chicken dinners don’t need to be complicated. All you really need are some veggies and a few spices for flavor. So, if you’re looking for more chicken breast and mushroom recipes, check these out: Creamy Mushroom Chicken, Mushroom and Cabbage Chicken and Chicken Stroganoff.
This chicken mushroom recipe is great because everything is cooked in the same pan, so it comes together quickly, and you aren’t left with a pile of dirty dishes to clean afterwards. These types of recipes are always easy and quick to prepare.
So, this chicken mushroom is perfect for a busy family who still wants to eat homemade food at dinner, even when they don’t have a lot of time to cook.
Add an easy side of your favorite rice or a tossed green salad to make it a complete meal.
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts – You can also use chicken thighs, but you’ll need to increase the cook time. It should take 15-20 minutes for boneless and 25-30 minutes for bone-in.
- Spices: onion powder, dried oregano, paprika, kosher salt, and pepper
- Olive oil – Replace with any neutral cooking oil such as canola, avocado, or sunflower.
- White or cremini mushrooms – Cremini or Bella varieties would also work well.
- Butter – make sure to use unsalted butter so the dish doesn’t come out too salty
- Garlic
- Fresh parsley – feel free to swap for other fresh herbs such as basil, fresh thyme, or cilantro.
How To Make Chicken Mushroom Recipe
Recipe Tips
- Chicken breasts are cooked through once it has reached the internal temperature of 165F. An instant-read meat thermometer is a super helpful kitchen tool.
- I love my cast iron skillet but if you don’t have one, a regular skillet will work just as well.
- While the chicken is freezer friendly, the mushroom is not. So I do not recommend freezing this recipe for later.
- I didn’t include heavy cream in this recipe, but if you’d like to add 1/2 cup of it, you absolutely can.
You can eat this recipe as a main course because it’s very satisfying with the mushrooms, but if you prefer, you can have it with delicious fluffy rice, or some pasta, or roasted veggies.
Mmm… yummy! I also shouldn’t forget about the salad. This Mushroom Chicken Breast Recipe goes really well with any type of salad like quinoa salads, beans salad, air-fryer potatoes wedges, mashed potatoes, and of course green salad. Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 3 boneless chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise to become 6 thin fillets.
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 +1 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz white mushrooms sliced
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towel. In a bowl, add chicken breast, the onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper. Mix well to season the chicken breasts evenly.
- In a medium skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Place chicken breasts and sear until browned on each side. It’ll take about 5 minutes each side, depending on thickness of the chicken breasts. Transfer to a plate; set aside and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook until they get brown and crispy. Add the butter and garlic. Sauté until fragrant. It’s about 1 minute.
- Return chicken to the pan. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with cauliflower rice or regular rice and green salad.
Notes
- Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check if the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165F.
- You can use a large non-stick skillet if you do not have a cast-iron skillet.
- Cutting the chicken ensures that it is thin enough to cook through quickly so it doesn’t dry out.
- To store: Store the chicken and mushrooms in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- To reheat: Reheat the leftovers in the microwave until hot. You can microwave with a damp paper towel over top if you’re worried the chicken will dry out.

This looks like something I’d like to try,except I wonder about the 2T. Wine. Wouldn’t want to open a bottle just for that small amout. Do you think it’d be missed?
Yes, I think it’d be missed. These two tablespoons of wine really make a diference in this dish in my opinion, but if you want you don’t need to use it. You also can buy a small bottle of cooking wine. I hope it helps 😉
Hi, am I missing something? I don’t see wine in the recipe.
Yes we retested this recipe and we remove the wine in there.
Hi Olivia, I made this last night, but read where another reviewer asked about omitting it. You said you omitted the red wine from the ingredients, but I added it in in Step 3 and it turned out wonderful. I don’t drink alcohol, but use it in cooking and always have cooking wine on hand, I feel it adds that extra “something” to ones dish. I’ve even added it in other recipes where it’s not even in the ingredients, but very pleased I’d added it in.
Thank you for your wonderful inspiration with these dishes as I’m sure to make them often, keep up the good work. I look forward to receiving your recipes.
Thank so much. I appreciate all your support. Glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Finding joy in small things is definitely something I’ve been working on lately!
And this one dish chicken sounds delicious!!
This recipe looks great, I will definitely try it. Under ingredients it says ‘mushroom sauce’…do you just mean mushroom soup? Thanks!
You will make the mushroom sauce with these ingredients (butter, onion, garlic cloves, cremini mushrooms, chicken broth and red wine). Let me know if you have any other question 😉
Hi! Where is this in the recipe? I don’t see those in the ingredients or in the instructions…need to know how much of each please 🙂
It’s in the bottom of the post on the recipe card.
What the heck is “1 container cremini mushrooms”?! Is there a measurement in ounces or—?
It’s about 9oz or 227 g! I will adjust the recipe to clear further confusion. Thanks for pointing it out!
I made this recipe this week, and it was great! But the sauce never thickened up. There doesn’t seem to be any thickening ingredient, so should I be adding a little flour before putting the chicken back in? Did I do something wrong?
I am out of red wine, so will white wine suffice on this recipe? I want to make this tonight.
yes it works too!
How much red wine? Because it dose not say anymore but I want to add it in there
You can add about 1/4 cup!
Excellent recipe and it was delicious.Thank you
Yes it’s a very flavourful recipe. Happy you liked it!
Made this tonight and it was Amazing! My husband said it was a restaurant quality meal and he’d have it again any time. Thank you.
Wow what a great compliment! I am so happy to hear that 😉
This was very good, and easy! I added a little lemon juice as well as white wine, a small amount of chicken broth just so it would have more sauce, and 1/2 t arrowroot. We all loved it. Thanks for the recipe.
Great recipe! I use only 1T of butter & add an extra T of olive oil because of high cholesterol.
Glad it worked for you 😉
Unimpressed, you cannot cook chicken in 1 Tbsp of olive oil by the time the chicken browned I ended up with blackened chicken and had to finish cooking the chicken in the microwave. I won’t cook this again it was mess from the get go.
Great recipe but as everyone else has stated should have left the white wine in in but thank you for the recipe keep putting them out there
What wine?
Super easy, and the Family liked it. Thanks for the recipe.
