❤️ Why You'll Love This Chicken and Mushrooms Recipe

• Thinly sliced tender juicy chicken

• Perfect easy weeknight dinner

Busy weeknights require quick and easy low carb dinner ideas and if that’s what you’re looking for, you have come to the right place!  Chicken is one of the most popular low carb proteins that I love to make and is the star of this dish.

I take thinly sliced chicken, sauté it in sun-dried tomato oil, giving it a good sear and plenty of flavor.  Fresh baby bella mushrooms, shallots and garlic are then sautéed and further flavor the chicken. 

A quick white wine and chicken broth reduction brings it all together and voila, dinner is served and is absolutely delicious. This quick and easy dinner will please even the pickiest eaters and taste like something you order in a restaurant.

🔪 How to Make Mushroom Chicken

Heat a large skillet to medium and add in the sun-dried tomato oil, chicken, salt and pepper.

Sauté for a few minutes on each side, until they are almost completely cooked through.  Then remove and set aside.

Add in the butter and once melted, the mushrooms. 

Sauté for a few minutes, then add in the shallots and continue cooking.

Once the mushrooms and shallots have slightly started to caramelize, make a well in the center and add in the garlic.  Sauté for about 15 seconds.

Then pour in the wine and chicken broth.

Deglaze the pan, scraping up the brown bits of flavor.  Add the chicken back in, along with the sun-dried tomatoes.  Cook for a few minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Serve with the parsley over the top.

💡 Tips

• You only need the chicken broth and wine to reduce slightly, you’re not looking for a thick gravy consistency or even much of a sauce.  It’s just enough to keep the chicken juicy and give it great flavor.
• If you wanted more of a sauce, add in ½ more of the chicken broth and whisk in about ¼-1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum, then cook until it has reached your desired thickness.
• You can easily turn this into a creamy sauce by adding in some heavy cream, about ⅓ cup should be plenty.  
• Don’t overcook the chicken, otherwise it will be tough and dry. Since the pieces are thinly sliced, they cook up in no time.
• Be sure to buy sun-dried tomatoes that are packed in oil. The oil is loaded with amazing flavor and is an important part of this dish. Don't forget to save any unused oil to use in other recipes!

☑️ Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze.

🍴 What to Serve with Mushroom Chicken

This chicken recipe will pair nicely with just about any side dish that you like, but here are a few that I think would go especially well together:

• Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes
• Glazed Carrots
• Garlic Potatoes and Green Beans
• Cheesy Roasted Cauliflower
• Air Fryer Baked Potatoes

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• If you don’t have chicken breast on hand, you can substitute with chicken thighs.  Make sure they are boneless and skinless.
• If you don’t have white wine on hand, you can use all chicken broth instead.  It won’t have the exact same depth of flavor, but will still taste delicious!
• Cremini mushrooms are very flavorful, but if you can’t find them, you can certainly use white button mushrooms instead. 
• If you want a stronger mushroom flavor, buy a small amount of dried porcini mushrooms.  Reconstitute them in boiling hot water for a few minutes, then add them into the sauce.  But don’t toss that water, instead add it in at the deglazing step.  That mushroom water will add incredible flavor to the dish.  I’ve used this trick for years, typically when making steak and mushrooms, it works so well!
• If you can’t find shallots, you can use thinly sliced yellow onions instead.
• If you don’t have fresh parsley, but happen to have fresh thyme on hand, add in about 1 teaspoon a few minutes before the dish is ready.
• For a slight kick of heat, add in a pinch of red pepper flakes.
