About 4 or 5 years ago I was flipping through magazines at a family member’s house and ran across a recipe for chicken smothered in mushrooms and cheese. It looked amazing, so I snapped a picture of the recipe part of the article on my phone, took it home, and tried it. It really was amazing! I have continued to make it frequently, with some changes here and there throughout the years and it is now a confirmed favorite. I wish I knew the name of the magazine that the original recipe came from, but alas I do not. Nevertheless, you can still try Mushroom Smothered Chicken for yourself because I have rendered my adapted version of it for you to enjoy.
Our favorite way to eat Mushroom Smothered Chicken is with Steamed Italian Sugar Snap Peas and Sour Cream & Garlic Mashed Potatoes, both pictured above. They are the perfect complimentary side dishes to this chicken and make for a scrumptious, well-rounded meal.
First we coat two chicken breasts with seasoned flour and fry in butter until golden brown on both sides.
Then we saute up some mushrooms to smother the chicken with.
Top the chicken with the mushrooms and bake.
Once the chicken is cooked we top this beauty with cheese and prepare to nom.
Mushroom Smothered Chicken
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Bake Time: 25 minutes
Serves 2
2 chicken breasts
3 tbsp flour
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 tbsp salted butter
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 1/2 cups sliced white mushrooms
1/4 tsp crushed dried rosemary
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
Preheat oven to 375ºF. In a skillet or frying pan melt the 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat. In the meantime, combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a small bowl or sandwich bag. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Place the flour coated chicken the hot butter and cook for 3 minutes, until that side is golden brown. Turn and repeat on the other side. Remove to a lightly greased baking dish and set aside. To the remaining butter in the skillet, add the garlic, broth, mushrooms, and rosemary, along with a dash of salt and pepper. Saute for about 6-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are softened and the liquid in the pan is reduced by half. Pour the mushrooms and sauce over the chicken breasts and bake uncovered for 25 minutes*. Layer the the mozzarella over the top and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
*Cooking time may vary slightly based on the size of the chicken breasts and your individual oven. Check to make sure the center is no longer pink before eating.
Being of Russian/Ukranian descent – I love ANYTHING with Mushrooms, especially chicken. This looks delicious 🙂
Me too! On the mushrooms part, not the heritage 🙂
Yummy!! I love that this recipe doesn’t call for any condensed soup and can be doubled with ease.
Yes! You can double or triple it no problem.
This is so similar to something my mom used to make, but without the Cream of Mushroom soup – which means it’s so much better and healthier for you. Definitely need to try this one out!
It’s so good! I’ve really been trying to avoid the condensed soup recipes for the last few years and at first it seemed limiting but we got used to it pretty quickly.
Yum! Thanks for sharing this recipe! We love smothered chicken so I’ll definitely be saving this one!
You’re welcome, hope you try it and love it!
This looks delicious, what could be better than mushrooms and cheese?! 🙂
What indeed? 🙂
LOVE THIS! It’s sort of like a cheesy chicken marsala – and that’s one of our favorites!
That sounds pretty yummy 🙂
The more mushrooms, the better! This recipe is a real keeper! Simple, easy ingredients makes it great for busy moms. I keep all of the ingredients on hand all the time.
Me too! It really is a crowd pleaser.
I don’t normally like mushrooms, but this sounds yummy!!
My husband only likes them in moderation so I get to eat about 2/3rds of the mushrooms when I eat this 😁
This looks really easy so I pinned it for hubby! I am in such a food rut, need some inspiration! Thank you!
