Description
This Skillet Chicken and Mushroom Wine Sauce Recipe features tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and a luscious white wine sauce for a gourmet meal made in one pan.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté mushrooms until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in white wine, scraping up brown bits from the skillet.
- Add chicken broth, thyme, and heavy cream. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- For a thicker sauce, whisk flour with 2 tbsp water, then stir into the sauce. Simmer until thickened.
- Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over, and cook for 2–3 minutes.
- Garnish with parsley and serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice.
Notes
- Substitute white wine with chicken broth if preferred.
- Button mushrooms can be used instead of cremini.
