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.

How to Make Chicken Mushroom Skillet:

Q: Everyone needs a good go-to chicken recipe. What is YOUR favorite chicken dish?
Dear Natasha,
It was such a wonderful and tasty sauce, I poured it over penne. Thanks a lot for the recipe. Now the question is how to deal with cream after placing in the fridge…I have never cooked any sauce with creams and no idea how long it lasts at 5°C and what happens when I reheat… Thanks in advance for your reply.
It will keep well covered in the refrigerator. You can either reheat the full batch in the oven, or reheat on the stove top. If her heating on the stove top, make sure you are heating over a lower heat until the mixture is hot. I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
EASY RECIPE. Have made this recipe many times and my family loves it. I add pasta to the chicken (or *SHRIMP*) and mushroom sauce. Thank you Natasha.
You’re welcome Susan! You’re review put a big smile on my face!
I usually don’t write reviews, well I usually don’t cook either haha. I made this last night, it was so easy to make and very tasty! It tasted even better today! Thank you Natasha, I can’t wait to try more of your recipes 🙂
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you for the great review Alla! 🙂
I made this recipe two nights ago, i forgot to post a review. It was so delicious and leftovers were even better! My husband told me to make this dish once a week because he loved it. The fresh dill makes it taste so different and adds a fresh flavor. The chicken was soft and juicy! It was pure perfection. It was also very presentable, i would make it for guests too. I loved it! I made it with the chicken wedding salad that you have and that also tasted great! Thanks again Natasha!
Thank you so much for your awesome review! I’m all smiles reading it 🙂
How do you serve it with buckwheat? I’m only aware of buckwheat flour.
If you’ve never tried buckwheat groats, you are missing out! It is so healthy and cooks similar to rice. We like the ones sold in European stores (like this one) most as they keep their form best but Whole foods has a very good one also. I hope you give it a try. My children love it too and it’s just such a healthy grain and it’s gluten free if you’re curious. Here are all of my buckwheat recipes.
Wow- I just finished whipping up this quick, easy dish and I have to agree with the others… It’s DELICIOUS! Thanks so much for sharing this Natasha!
Thank you for the fantastic review!! 🙂
I usually don’t take recipes from blogs but for some reason, I had to try this one. It seemed easy and doable but at the same time it didn’t seem as if I would totally destroy it. You also know what you’re talking about which made me trust that the recipe wouldn’t turn out to be a disaster lol. I just made this and although I haven’t tried it yet, my mom gave it two thumbs up. I’ve been craving mushroom sauce for the longest time. I’m a beginner cook so there were a few things I could have done better (i.e., soggy mushrooms). Also, instead of heavy cream I used light cream. It seemed to do the job well. Thanks for this AMAZINNNGGG recipe and more than anything, you’re easy instructions! Very easy to follow and I’m slow so that’s saying something lol.
I’m so happy this recipe was a success for you. Isn’t that the sweetest feeling; two thumbs up from Mom? 🙂 Thank you for sharing that with me!
I made this for dinner tonight such a hit. Thank you for this yummy recipe
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing that with me 🙂
Made this last night for my family and there was nothing left! Everyone absolutely loved it. The recipe was very simple to follow, thank you for sharing. I also used your simple mashed potatoes recipe along with the green beans and mushrooms dish. 100% approved by everyone. Thank you!
That’s music to my ears!!! Thank you so much for sharing your awesome review 🙂
Thanks for the recipe! Super good and super easy! I love recipes that are so quick yet absolutely delicious.
Vitaya, thank you so much for the great review and you are welcome :).
This is very tasty! Although my family loves creamy dishes, we don’t do so well with lots of dairy, so I made this tonight with cashew cream (cashews + water in a blender) instead of heavy cream. Because of the cashew substitute, I added a bit of lemon juice at the end to brighten the flavor. With great cooking technique like Natasha’s, a non-dairy substitution goes seamlessly! I served this with egg noodles and roasted broccoli. I highly recommend this fast and easy, comforting dish. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy the bright flavor of the herbs. Thanks Natasha!
Thank you so much for sharing your non-dairy version. I love that you included the details because people frequently ask about dairy free substitutions. And thank you for the compliment. You’re so nice 🙂
Really delicious chicken dish. Added to my regular dinner rotation. Love mushrooms and always happy to see them in a recipe. Thanks!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it! That’s quite a compliment if this dish makes it into your regular rotation. Thank you for sharing that with me 🙂
I am so happy I discovered your website. Found it through google when I wanted a good recipe for broccoli chicken (yours is fabulous) and today, I made this. Only change I made is that I had half and half instead of heavy cream but it worked pretty well although probably not as rich. Next time, will make sure I have the cream. Made it with bow-tie pasta. Hubby loved it! Going into the regular rotation for sure. Would not let me give it stars so website has issues but 5 stars all the way!
I love the idea of making it with pasta. Did you put it into the dish or just pour the chicken and mushrooms over pasta when it was cooked? I’m so happy you loved it! thank you!
Thanks for posting this – it was delicious! I had to use dried dill and parsley (didn’t have any fresh on hand), but the dish still came out awesome! (For those who need to substitute dried for fresh, use 2 tbsp dried dill and 2 tbsp dried parsley flakes)
Kathy, thank you for the great review and for the tip :).
Kathy, thank you for the great review and for the tip :).
Is it possible to make this meal ahead somehow? If I were to make it for Sunday Lunch after church, can I prepare it ahead to a point and finish up quickly before eating?
You can make the recipe up to step #2: cook the mushrooms and the chicken then refrigerate both and finish it up quickly before eating. It may take a little longer to heat and thicken since the chicken and mushrooms will be cold.
Could I sub Greek yogurt for the heavy whipping cream?
I haven’t tried that substitution, but I think the Greek Yogurt might not be as creamy in the end result; I imagine it might separate rather than blend well, but again, I haven’t tried it myself.
The Bomb! Family favorite since i tried making it until now! Must have it for every family gathering! Thank you for an easy but yummy recipe Natasha! I make a lot of dishesh using your recipes!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you so much for the great review! You are awesome!
I just wanted to know, instead of the mushrooms if we don’t have them what could I put with the Chicken Tenders instead?
You could try asparagus or broccoli or sweet peas 🙂
Can you say, “Yummy”? Herby chicken is incredible!
Thank you 🙂 It sure is!
Best way to describe this recipe is an explosion of flavor in your mouth!! Made this last night for my husband with a side of mashed potatoes, and a russian salad. My husband said “best meal ever.. Definitely on my top 5 list!” And if you must know he is literally the PICKEST guy ever!! So I’m always nervous to cook for him lol thanks again for a wonderful recipe
Awww that is the best review ever! Thanks so much Alla. I’m so happy you both loved the recipe 🙂
