Creamy Parmesan Chicken and Mushrooms

One pan creamy parmesan chicken and mushrooms is a simple skillet meal that requires only 30 minutes and packs a huge punch of tasty flavors.

If you think you don’t like mushrooms, think again. And if you’re already a fan of mushrooms and are searching for a way to elevate your mushroom-lovin’ dinner game, this recipe is for you my friends.

This savory pan-seared chicken in a creamy-licious garlic and parmesan mushroom sauce is about to change your weeknight dinner game.

Now you can use either chicken thighs (boneless skinless, or bone-in and skin-on, your preference) or boneless skinless chicken breasts, it’s totally your call. As far as mushrooms go, I highly recommend fresh mushrooms rather than canned mushrooms.

As much as I support taking shortcuts where possible, canned mushrooms are not my cup of tea in this recipe. That being said, if you do try it with canned mushrooms and you just love it – more power to you!! Because like I said, shortcuts really are fair game around here.

And be sure to send me a message or leave a comment cause I wanna hear about it!

The sauce can be made with regular ol’ milk (I recommend regular or fat free half and half if you’re going this route) or heavy cream. Heavy cream will absolutely give you a creamier, richer, and more flavorful sauce so if you’re in the mood for real comfort food, go with the HC.

This dish is loaded with good flavor. It’s simple to make in about 30 minutes, requires just one pan, and will hit the spot even with picky eaters.

Serve it straight up or over a bed of rice or noodles for easily one of the tastiest meals you’ll ever make!
