EASY CREAMY CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS



Easy Creamy Chicken With Mushrooms and Onions image

This is one of those meals I fix when I haven't got much time. It uses ingredients I usually always have at hand. My BF loves it. Serve with pasta, rice or potatoes or just some crusty bread to mop up the sauce. This is enough for two people, but can easily be doubled. Or if you want some greens, just add frozen peas or some steamed broccoli florets for the last few minutes.

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Skillet Chicken With Mushrooms and Caramelized Onions image

This comforting one-pot dinner is reminiscent of a rich French onion soup, but made in less time and with lighter ingredients. Cooking the onions in a hot, dry pan forces them to release their moisture, so that they shrink and become silky and sweet in 30 minutes. Serve everything directly from the pan, with some crusty bread to soak up all the juices, or shred the chicken and pile it on top of buttered noodles. For something green, stir in some spinach to wilt at the end or serve alongside a simple green salad or roasted broccoli.

Provided by Yasmin Fahr

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3-inch pieces
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
3/4 pound cremini mushrooms, stems removed and thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley or dill leaves and fine stems, roughly chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or pecorino (optional)
Bread or cooked pasta, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the honey, mustard, red-pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt; whisk until smooth. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper, then add to the mixture, coating it well. Set aside at room temperature, stirring it once while you make the onions.
  • Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then add the onions in an even layer. Season with salt, then cook, mostly undisturbed, for 4 minutes more, stirring every minute or so. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and stir to combine. (It will look crowded, and that's OK.) Allow to cook mostly undisturbed until the mushrooms shrink and start to brown, about 4 minutes, stirring every minute or so.
  • Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and allow the onions to cook until they start to color, stirring and lowering the heat as necessary to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Push the onions and mushrooms to the edges of the skillet, then add the chicken pieces to the center. Pour any remaining marinade (there will be very little) over the onions and mushrooms. Cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes, then combine the chicken and vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes more. (Reduce the heat to medium if the onions look like they are burning at any point.)
  • Add the remaining 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, stirring and scraping up anything on the bottom of the skillet. Season to taste with salt.
  • Remove from the heat and top with the parsley and cheese, if using. Serve with bread or pasta.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH MUSHROOMS



Chicken Breasts With Mushrooms image

This chicken dish is tasty, fairly quick and easy enough for a 'new' cook to impress dinner guests. A look into the fridge and store cupboard was the source of invention for this - plus limited time and the desire for a fairly healthy meal.

Provided by paulinekfoley

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 chicken breasts (1 per person or 2 per person if small)
2 tablespoons cream cheese with garlic and herbs (low fat if desired)
1 ounce butter
1 small onions, finely chopped or 1/2 large onion
4 ounces mushrooms, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon dry mustard or 1 teaspoon fresh mustard
1 chicken stock cube
1 glass white wine (if preferred) or 1 glass water (if preferred)
seasoning (fresh ground pepper if possible)

Steps:

  • Slit the chicken breasts partly through the side, to create an 'envelope'. Try to slice at the thickest point and not all the way through. Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese inside the chicken breast and press the two sides together to reform the shape of the breast. Sprinkle with ground pepper to taste. Put to one side.
  • Melt the butter in a frying pan and gently fry the onions and mushrooms until the onions are soft. Turn up the heat to a medium/high level and add the chicken. Cook on one side for about 5 minutes (depending on size) or until cooked on that side. Turn each breast over and cook for a further 5 minutes (again depending on size) or until cooked. Try not to over cook - but always ensure the chicken is completely cooked. Don't worry if the cream cheese starts to leak out of the breasts - it all adds to the flavours later.
  • Turn the temperature back down a little, and add the wine (or water) to the pan (around the chicken). Followed by the mustard, thyme and stock cube. Bring to the boil. Let this gently simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with whatever is preferred - but it is good to have something to absorb the sauce. Leftovers freeze very well.
  • I've usually add some garlic when cooking the onions and mushrooms, but that is just personal preference.

Chicken Breasts W/Mushrooms & Caramelized Onions image

Make and share this Chicken Breasts W/Mushrooms & Caramelized Onions recipe from Food.com.

Provided by lizze

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 -4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 per person)
1 large onion (sliced)
8 -16 ounces fresh mushrooms (cleaned & sliced)
4 -8 ounces blue cheese (crumbled)
seasoning salt
pepper
olive oil
1/2 cup red wine (optional)

Steps:

  • Season chicken breasts with seasoned salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet then add the breasts.
  • Brown the breasts on medium heat on both sides, transfer to a baking dish and put into a 350°F oven to finish cooking.
  • In the same skillet add another tbsp of oil and add the onions; sauté until translucent.
  • Add a couple teaspoons of sugar and the red wine (optional) and sauté until the onions become caramelized.
  • Set onions aside.
  • Sauté the mushrooms in the skillet.
  • Remove the breasts from the oven and spoon some of the caramelized onions atop each one, then spoon some sautéed mushrooms on each. Finally, sprinkle some blue cheese over the mushrooms and place under the broiler for a couple minutes until the cheese becomes slightly browned.
  • Serve the breasts on a nest of angel hair pasta or bed of wild rice or couscous.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your dish comes together quickly and smoothly.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking chicken breasts, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will result in dry, tough chicken.
  • Cook Chicken to the Correct Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that your chicken breasts are cooked to the correct temperature. Chicken is safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the Chicken Rest: After cooking, let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in juicier, more flavorful chicken.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Feel free to experiment with different types of vegetables in this dish. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and zucchini.
  • Add Some Herbs and Spices: To add extra flavor to your dish, try adding some herbs and spices. Some good options include garlic, thyme, rosemary, and paprika.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Sides: This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Chicken breasts with cheese, mushrooms, and onions is a delicious and versatile dish that can be easily customized to your liking. With its tender chicken, flavorful vegetables, and creamy cheese sauce, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
