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!

Mushroom Chicken in Creamy Herb Sauce

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.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

  • 1/2 lb mushrooms, rinsed and patted dry
  • 1 lbs chicken tenders
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt to taste, (divided, plus more to taste)

How to Make Chicken Mushroom Skillet:

  • Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 Tbsp butter and 1/2 Tbsp oil. Once oil is hot, add thickly sliced mushrooms and season with 1/2 tsp garlic salt. Let mushrooms sizzle about 5 min, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown then remove to a plate.

    Amazingly Better In Dairy-free version! One of my daughters has a dairy allergy and so I made a the original version and a dairy-free version. For dairy-free I substituted the butter for Earth Balance butter and the cream for 3/4 cup of plain unsweetened almond milk + 1 Tablespoon of corn starch. It was absolutely delicious. The original was good too but INCREDIBLY rich. Next time it will all be dairy-free for sure!

    Crazy amount of dill and parley n this dish makes this taste like a weird garlic pesto.

      Hi Jay, there is a fair amount with this being an herb sauce, but dill and parsley are pretty mild and shouldn’t be overpowering even in those amounts. I wonder if maybe you used dried herbs? Because of the amounts here, I would not recommend substituting with dried herbs.

    I am shocked this has so many good reviews. This dish lacks flavor. We wanted to like this but my family wasn’t crazy about this. I cook Whole Foods every night for dinner so it was disappointing to make this and everyone secretly toss half of it in the trash. I will not make this again or I might add a sweeter wine and simmer it for 30 minutes. I also might add sliced lemon for more flavor.

      Hi Whitney, this normally has tons of flavor between the mushrooms, garlic, herbs, and seasoning. Did you change or omit anything? Also, make sure to season to taste – sometimes all a dish needs is a little extra salt to round out the flavors.

    This looks somewhat similar to your Chicken Gloria recipe (which is AMAZING btw)! What is the difference in terms of taste?

      Hi Alexa, this is a simpler stovetop version and the taste is pretty different due to the herbs used and the cooking method.

      Glad you enjoyed this recipe! 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.

    This was amazing. Me and my family just cooked this. Except we didn’t use whipping cream, but heavy cream and added some extra seasonings and garlic. It was very good. Never thought about using these herbs like this and i’m glad I found this recipe. Definitely adding this to the rotation.
    10/10 thank you!

    I love this simple recipe. I did not have fresh herbs, so I replaced the herbs with dry thyme because it goes well with mushrooms and chicken and because of Covid I do minimize my trips to the grocery store.
    The chicken was tender and the sauce velvety. A new fan 🙂
