Mushroom Chicken in a Creamy Herb Sauce:
Mushroom chicken is all done in one pan which is so nice because my lazy side is always considering the dish factor. The whole thing is easy peasy and loaded with flavor. A big thank you to my sis, Anna, for sharing this delicious family friendly recipe with us years ago. It is a keeper!

Ingredients Chicken and Mushrooms:
This may seem like a ton of herbs (and it is!) but here me out. The herbs soften and blend into the sauce, giving it amazing fresh flavor while lightening the sauce. It is the easiest way to elevate a creamy sauce and make home cooking feel super fancy.
What is a Good Dill Substitute?
There isn’t anything quite like dill in flavor – it is very subtle but an incredible little herb! We LOVE dill and you can see all of our recipes with dill weed in them HERE.
- Generally, 1 tsp of dried dill is equal to 3 tsp (or 1 Tbsp) of fresh dill.
- Since the herbs don’t simmer for very long, I would highly recommend using fresh in this recipe. Dried herbs are great with lengthy marinating, lengthy cooking and high heat cooking (roasting and grilling).
- If you don’t have dill, you omit it in this chicken mushrooms recipe or add more parsley and green onion. We make this year round and improvise with the herbs we have on hand.
P.S. Here’s the blue pan that we are using (our Amazon affiliate link) – because everyone always asks! We love it because it’s heavy cast iron, coated to keep it from sticking, is easy to clean and deep so it’s perfect for one pan chicken recipes.

Do I have to clean mushrooms from their skin or just washing them will do it ?
Just rinse and dry them on paper towels. I don’t recall ever having to peel mushrooms from their skin. What kind of recipes have you been doing that for?
My mushrooms turned out black, yours look good, brown. Whats the problem, do u know?? Thank u!
Did you start with white or brown mushrooms?
Made this souce today, everyone loved it! Thank you for the recipe!
Galina, thank you for the great review and you are welcome :).
Just made this for dinner. Wow! Super easy and tastes so good! Thanks for your awesome recipes!!
You’re welcome and thank YOU Vika for the great review 🙂
Already made this twice in the space of 5 days. I really appreciate these one-pot meals, especially ones that are made up of ingredients that I already usually have at home. This was so easy and fast to make in a pinch, plus delicious.
I’m so happy you enjoyed it! You are on a roll making it twice in 5 days! Go Polina! 🙂
Just made this and it was so delicious!!! I just sub some ingredients like chicken breast, also added green onions! All that over these small shell macaroni (don’t know how they called but the flavor goes into them and it tasted delicious!!!!
Oooh I love shell pasta too. It’s a favorite form childhood. There’s something special about those little shells 🙂 I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe.
I made this for dinner tonight, it is absolutely DELICIOUS!! This will definitely go into my regular rotation. Such amazing flavors remind me of home and the things mama used to cook.
Thanks Natasha!
That’s the best when you discover a recipe that makes it to the regular rotation. I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you Dasha 🙂
Thank you for the nice chicken and mushroom recipe. Sounds delicious.
I hope you love it 🙂
Hi Natasha,
I made this fantastic chicken dish today and served it over creamy mashed potatoes and it was absolutely wonderful. I subbed the green onions for shallots as I did not have any on hand but otherwise I followed the directions. Thanks for another winner recipe.
Margarita, thank you so much for the great review and you are very welcome :).
Looks delicious. Will this work with shrimp instead of chicken?
Yes, but keep in mind shrimp cook way faster so you might cook the shrimp for a minute then toss in the seasonings, then mushrooms, etc. Just keep in mind it’s much easier to overcook shrimp. It would still be delicious (and maybe even more delicious!) with shrimp 🙂
Talk about perfect timing! Made this dish the same day you posted…from fresh mushrooms that just been picked that day. It was a hit! My picky eaters loved it and hubby approved 🙂 Thanks!
Where did you find fresh mushrooms? Were they forest grown? That is very cool! I’m so glad you all enjoyed the recipe 🙂
Made this tonight!! It really is an easy and incredibly flavorful dish! Bought half a rotisserie chicken to put in because I was in a hurry (shhh) but it was great. Poured it over basmati. Thanks for another great recipe! X
That’s brilliant. I love the idea of using rotisserie chicken; I love a great shortcut! 🙂
Made this dish yesterday with buckwheat, absolutely amazing,
Thank you so much Tanya for a great review! I’m a big buckwheat fan; actually everyone in my family is. Great choice! 🙂
This looks really good. I will be adding it to my holiday hosting parties. So excited to try it!
Thanks girl! I hope you LOVE it 🙂
Wow, I’m drooling over these pictures.
Thanks Teresa :). You’re so nice 🙂
Tenders … Is it the breast meat or could be any skinless boneless meat?
My sister actually used chicken thighs with good results. You can use chicken breast but it might be a little tougher than chicken tenders. Tenders are the strips of meat that are usually attached to large chicken breasts. You can slice chicken breast into pieces and use that as well.
Yummy! This is my type of dish! I love buckwheat better than rice too. 🙂
And it’s so much healthier too! Thanks Valya 🙂
Looks delicious. Will have to try this week. Yum
Thank you Vera! I hope you LOVE it 🙂
