Make this rich and satisfying Creamy Mushroom Alfredo Chicken Skillet for a fast, one-pan weeknight dinner. This recipe combines tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and a homemade garlic cream sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the butter to the same skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low.
  7. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened slightly. Do not let the sauce boil after adding the cheese.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat everything in the sauce. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, simmer the cream and broth mixture for an extra 2-3 minutes before adding the cheese.
  • You can substitute cremini mushrooms with white button or shiitake mushrooms.
  • If you want to serve this over pasta, cook 8 ounces of fettuccine separately and toss it with the sauce and chicken in the skillet.
