Chicken with Mushroom Gravy Recipe (2024)

Today, we will enjoy Chicken with Mushroom gravy - a dish that satisfies your taste buds. The chicken breast is juicy, tender, perfectly seasoned, and smothered in a smooth mushroom gravy. When paired with creamy mashed potatoes, this meal will give you a great weeknight dinner.

Chicken breast, when cooked the right way, gives a fantastic flavor. You can season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper and shallow fry it; it will taste like a top-notch dish.

Making chicken with mushroom is easy and require little time and a few ingredients. My sister is not fond of mushrooms (at all), but she doesn't mind it when I make this recipe.

On the other hand, I love mushrooms and have made a few delicious recipes using them. I cooked a simple Vegetarian meal with Mushrooms and rice. I also made a tasty Mushroom galette and Mushroom onion pinwheels for breakfast.

❤️ WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS RECIPE

🥘 INGREDIENTS

To make this delightful dish, you have to gather these simple ingredients:

Chicken breast - Use skinless and boneless medium-sized chicken breasts. Large chicken breasts take longer to cook and can become dry.

Button mushrooms - You can use other mushrooms, but I like button mushrooms the most. Use fresh and not canned.

Onion and garlic - A little sweetness from the onion and a robust flavor from the garlic enhance the overall flavor of the gravy.

Chicken Broth - Go with low sodium to control the salt in this dish.

Butter and olive oil - I have used a mixture of both fats to add richness to the gravy.

🔪INSTRUCTIONS

Let's break down the cooking process into steps:

Step 1

Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper. In a hot pan, add the butter and olive oil. Add the chicken breast and sear both sides. Remove from heat and cover.

Step 2

Add the rest of the butter and olive oil to the frying pan, to it add the chopped onion and cook until translucent. Add the mushroom and the garlic and sauté until the mushroom is golden brown.

Step 3

Add the flour and stir for one minute on medium-high. Pour the chicken broth gradually while stirring.

Step 4

Season the gravy with oregano, black pepper, and garlic powder. When the gravy comes to a boil, add the chicken breast.

Step 5

Cook the mixture until the gravy is thick and the chicken breast is cooked. Serve with mashed potatoes or pasta.

👩🏽‍🍳PRO TIPS

• If you have a large chicken breast, cut it horizontally in half.
• Do not overcook the chicken breast. The chicken will continue cooking while resting and cook again in the gravy.
• Clean the mushroom using a damp towel. Washing the mushrooms under running water will make them absorb some water and won't saute properly.
• After adding the garlic, reduce the heat to prevent burning it.

📋VARIATIONS

This Chicken with Mushroom and Gravy recipe is highly adaptable:

• Add more vegetables: Consider adding sliced zucchini or eggplant.
• Heavy cream: Not much, but two tablespoons of heavy cream makes the gravy richer and tastier.
• Cheese: To finish the dish, sprinkle grated Parmesan or Gruyère cheese.
• Instead of chicken broth, go for beef broth.

🍽️ HOW TO SERVE

I always serve the chicken with mushroom gravy on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, but you can also serve it with sauteed vegetables, plain rice, or bread.

🌡️ STORING

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

You can also freeze this dish for up to 3 months. If you add cream, I will advise against freezing because the texture can change.
