Our Easy Cheesy Chicken and Mushrooms – chicken breasts seared then smothered in a super fast mushroom pan sauce.  Topped with cheese and on the table in 25 minutes. BONUS: All done in ONE PAN!

chicken breasts smothered in mushroom gravy and cheese

You can never have enough easy chicken recipes ! This one is a fave around here. Seared tender chicken all smothered in a 5 minute mushroom gravy then topped with mozzarella cheese! All in one pan…yay!

What ingredients do I need to make this easy chicken breast recipe?

  • boneless chicken breasts – cutlets or whole boneless halves
  • mushrooms
  • onion
  • chicken stock
  • garlic
  • flour
  • canola or light olive oil
  • butter
  • grated mozzarella

Start by giving your chicken a good sprinkle of salt and pepper. This helps form a crust. Then a quick sear in a hot pan that’s been coated with a bit of oil. Couple minutes on each side will do it as the chicken will continue to cook in the mushroom sauce.

PRO TIP: We like to use chicken cutlets in this recipe for a fast dinner but whole boneless chicken breasts will work just as well. You will just need to increase the cook time by about 5-7 minutes. Chicken is done perfectly when your meat thermometer reads 165 degrees

Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Slice up your mushrooms and onion. Add a bit of butter to a hot pan and in they go.

Mushrooms 101: Once you add the mushooms to your hot pan, give a toss, then leave them alone for at least 3 minutes before stirring again. You can develop a nice browning that way and save the salt until you have reached the desired doneness as it can impede the browning process by drawing out moisture.

Now you have your beautiful browned mushrooms. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant.

Combine the stock and flour with a whisk. Pour into the skillet and let it thicken while you stir. About 2 minutes should do it!

Time to taste! More salt? More pepper?

Add your seared chicken to the pan and simmer until the chicken is cooked through. Top with cheese, cover for a few minutes and dinner done!

    I know we’ll love this chicken dish! Sounds super easy & incredibly delish. Crimini mushrooms are our favorite ‘shrooms to use in recipes such as this. Thanks dear ladies, for yet another terrific recipe. 😍
