This pan-fried chicken breasts in creamy mushroom sauce recipe is delicious for any weeknight dinner, the chicken is tender and the creamy mushroom sauce is wonderful, ready in 30 minutes!
We love chicken breast recipes in creamy sauce in my home, I make them often, with or without mushrooms, with white wine or broth, they make for delicious weeknight dinners ready in no time.
I like to add mushrooms in most of my saucy meat recipes, it’s a great way to give volume to any dish at low cost with cremini mushrooms and very few added calories, for a more luxurious and flavorful recipe I go with porcini.
I added a few chopped sundried tomatoes for added flavors, my husband loves them.
To make this chicken with creamy mushroom
Since I was in a hurry that day, I served this creamy chicken with rice, but sautéed potatoes or pasta are great, any veggies will also be awesome.
