Here’s a delicious Rosemary-Garlic Chicken with Mushrooms recipe that’s savory, fragrant, and perfect for a weeknight dinner or special meal:
Rosemary-Garlic Chicken with Mushrooms
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or your choice)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional, can replace with more broth)
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried rosemary)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and black pepper. - Sear the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. - Cook the Garlic and Mushrooms:
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and mushrooms. Sauté 3–4 minutes until mushrooms are soft and slightly browned. - Make the Sauce:
Pour in chicken broth and white wine (if using). Stir in chopped rosemary and bring to a simmer. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor. - Return Chicken to Skillet:
Place chicken back in the pan, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 5–7 minutes until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C). - Finish with Butter:
Stir in butter for a rich, glossy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. - Serve:
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta to soak up the sauce.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, marinate chicken in olive oil, garlic, and rosemary for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a mix of mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, button) for more depth.
- If the sauce is too thin, simmer a few extra minutes to reduce.
If you want, I can also give a one-pan oven-baked version that’s even easier and makes the chicken incredibly juicy while keeping the mushrooms tender. It’s a bit of a cheat for minimal cleanup!
Do you want me to share that version too?
