Description

This garlic mushroom chicken skillet is creamy, comforting, and made in one pan. Juicy chicken thighs simmer in a rich Parmesan garlic sauce with tender mushrooms—perfect for busy weeknights or cozy family dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced

  • Salt, to taste

  • Cracked black pepper, to taste

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 brown or yellow onion, finely chopped

  • 6 large garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced

  • 1½ cups low-sodium chicken broth (or dry white wine)

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

  • Chopped fresh parsley, for serving


Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5–6 minutes until golden and tender. Remove mushrooms and set aside.

  2. Place flour in a shallow bowl. Lightly coat chicken thighs on both sides.

  3. Heat olive oil in the same skillet. Add chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.

  4. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until soft and fragrant. Stir in sliced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

  5. Pour in chicken broth (or wine), scraping up any browned bits. Stir in Dijon mustard and let simmer for 3–4 minutes.

  6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.

  7. Return chicken and mushrooms to the skillet. Simmer gently for 8–10 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce is glossy.

  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
