Chicken Mushroom Combo
Who doesn’t love this flavour bomb? Many readers have been writing in asking how to simplify this Cheesy Garlic Butter Mushroom Stuffed Chicken recipe. Of COURSE I’m up for that and here it is! Garlic butter and mushrooms go hand in hand already, for breakfast, lunch or dinner. BUT throw in some juicy, golden chicken thighs and WHOA have mercy!
Boneless Chicken Thigh Recipe
We decided to use chicken thighs for this recipe because dark meat suits the natural juices released from mushrooms. Although we use chicken thighs, you can substitute them with skinless, boneless breasts or chicken tenders if you like and follow the rest of the directions. This is an extremely forgiving recipe!

Simple Ingredients
With only a handful of ingredients, you’ll have one of the BEST and easiest chicken recipes hit your dinner table.
Once your chicken is seared, move onto your garlic butter mushrooms! Cook them in the same pan your chicken was in, scraping up any browned bits from the base of the pan for extra flavour in the mushrooms.
Garlic Mushrooms
The simple sauce of the buttery garlic mushrooms mixed with the seared chicken is what really makes this Garlic Mushroom Chicken Thighs recipe amazing.
- Butter — we use unsalted to better adjust the saltiness in the recipe
- Garlic — use fresh or bottle minced garlic. Fresh is best!
- Mushrooms — brown or white mushrooms
- Herbs — we love thyme, rosemary and parsley! Not a fan of those? Use whatever herbs YOU like!

- 1 1/2 pounds (700g) boneless skinless chicken thighs (around 6-8 fillets)
- 1 teaspoon each onion powder and garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon each of dried thyme and rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 ounces (250 g) sliced brown mushrooms
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tablespoon minced garlic)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon each of dried thyme and dried rosemary (adjust to your taste)
-
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towel and trim off excess fat. Combine the onion powder, garlic powder, herbs, salt and pepper. Coat the chicken evenly with the combined seasoning.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken thighs in batches until browned on each side and no longer pink in centre (about 8 minutes each side, depending on thickness). Add remaining oil if needed for second batch. Transfer to a plate; set aside and keep warm.
-
To the same pan or skillet, melt the butter and add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook until soft (about 3 minutes). Add the garlic, parsley, thyme and rosemary; sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
-
Return chicken to the pan. Taste test and season with salt and pepper to your taste. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
*You CAN use fresh herbs if you have them! 2 teaspoons each of fresh herbs is fine. If you don't like Thyme or Rosemary, substitute with Basil and Oregano, or use Tarragon.
Optional: For even more amazing flavour, add in 1/3 cup dry white wine with your mushrooms and cook it down to half before adding the chicken back into the pan.

AW!! That is so sweet of you! Thank you so much for sharing and letting me know! You are welcome to use any kind of mushroom you like. Enjoy! XO
Elizabeth Higgins says
This recipe is simply amazing, Karina! It is a perfect go-to-recipe for a stay-at-home-dinner with loved ones. The boneless thighs would absorb all the goodness and juiciness of the sauce; and because they are boneless, it would be easier to bite into the tender and flavorful meat. I saw in the photos that you used button mushrooms for this recipe; would it be OK to use other kinds of mushrooms?
Karina says
That is great to hear! I am glad that it turned out and you can add to it next time! Thank you so much for sharing! XO
Mariah says
I love this. I feel like just the mushrooms is a little light on veg for my family and have taken to throwing in some fresh peas at the end. This is so nice, and such a fast dinner for weeknights. Thank you for sharing.

Lisa Zanardi says
I made this dish this weekend – it was incredibly delicious! So funny I thought there was red sauce from the phot as well! I had some bacon oil left from breakfast and browned the chicken in it – beyond amazing!!! Served it over cauliflower rice. I didn’t get as much liquid as your photo did. Thank you for a great Sunday supper idea -!!!
Karina says
Yes, if you prefer that! That sounds great and is a great idea! That is super nice of you that you are substituting for your family. It may alter the taste and texture of the recipe. Thanks so much for choosing one of my recipes!! XO
Karina says
It is the crispiness from the chicken being cooked in the skillet. Hope you can make this soon!! XO
