Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to prevent the chicken and mushrooms from sticking.
  • Sear the chicken in a little olive oil over medium-high heat until it is golden brown. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms for a more complex flavor. Cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms are all good choices.
  • Add a splash of white wine or dry sherry to the pot after searing the chicken. This will help to deglaze the pot and add flavor to the sauce.
  • Use a combination of heavy cream and chicken broth to make the sauce. This will help to create a creamy, flavorful sauce without being too heavy.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
  • Serve the chicken and mushrooms over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
