How good does this creamy chicken and mushrooms look?? Is anyone else as hungry for it as I am? This is the exact kind of dinner we love at our house. The garlic adds great flavor and the parsley really brightens the dish against the richness of the cream and butter. I serve it over rice and I try really hard not to eat the whole pot myself… I don’t always succeed.
It also makes awesome leftovers to take to lunch the next day. Let me know what y’all think!
Start by browning the chicken in a skillet with butter and oil. Cook until it’s fully browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
Once browned, remove the chicken with a slotted spoon, and add the onions, garlic and mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until caramelized, about 8 minutes.
Sprinkle with flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring often. Slowly stir in the half and half and cook until the sauce thickens. Add the chicken back in and season with salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes longer.
Garnish the creamy chicken and mushrooms with fresh chopped parsley and serve with fluffy white rice.
This Creamy Chicken and Mushrooms dish is great served over white rice, but try it with quinoa or brown rice for a more health-conscious meal.
