We tend to eat a lot of chicken during the week, that’s why I am trying to find many delicious ways to cook it so it’s not boring. Once every two weeks, we buy chicken breasts in bulk so it will last us for a few meals. I like the versatility of cooking with chicken, chicken breast can be added to so many dishes: soups, salads, casseroles, etc.
In this One Pan Creamy Parmesan Mushroom Chicken, you will taste tender and juicy chicken breast that has been browned to golden perfection. Then, simmered into the most unbelievable Parmesan sauce made with lots of garlic and white wine. Caramelized mushrooms and spinach add a nice texture and take the dish to another level with their earthiness and sweetness.
Creamy Parmesan Mushroom Chicken Recipe Tips:
- Use quality meat, preferably organic, in this case, I used organic chicken breasts. However, the recipe will work great with chicken thighs as well.
- Definitely brown the chicken on both sides to golden perfection. It will take a few minutes, but it will make a huge difference in taste.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked, you don’t want to serve raw chicken, this is not steak 🙂 What I usually do, after I am done with browning it, I flip it bottom side up, and make a cut to see if the center is cooked. If it’s still pink cook for a few more minutes.
- Please don’t use the pre-grated packaged Parmesan that looks like dust, because it is not a good one. So if you buy grated Parmesan, make sure it’s from a good quality brand and you can see beautiful, long strings of Parmesan.
- The white wine adds such a nice flavor to this recipe. However, if you want to skip the alcohol, please replace it with chicken broth.
- Caramelizing the mushrooms is another very important step. Also, don’t discard the liquid that comes from cooking the mushrooms, it will add so much flavor to the sauce.
What wine to serve with Creamy Parmesan Mushroom Chicken?
White meat-based, creamy sauce like this, pairs well with white wines like Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay.
Tools/Ingredients I use to make this One Pan Creamy Parmesan Mushroom Chicken Recipe:
- Chantal Sauté Skillet – I particularly like this skillet for when I make recipes with lots of sauce, the skillet height is perfect so no drippings while cooking. It’s also a sturdy skillet made of high-quality material that will last you many years. You can also use a cast iron for this recipe.
- Slotted Turner – perfect when you need to remove ingredients from a pot, without any of the liquids.
- Tongs – I like the locking functionality on these, they are the best on the market.
