Chicken Mushroom
Who doesn’t love this flavor 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 on to 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 flavor in the mushrooms.
Garlic Mushrooms
The simple sauce of the buttery garlic mushrooms mixed with the seared chicken is what makes this Garlic Mushroom Chicken Thighs recipe amazing.
- Butter — we use unsalted to better adjust the saltiness in the recipe
- Garlic — use fresh or bottled 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!

Garlic Mushroom Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
For The Chicken:
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, around 6-8 fillets
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
For The Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 ounces brown mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 – 1 teaspoon dried thyme, adjust to your taste
- 1/2 – 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, adjust to your taste
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- salt and pepper, to season if needed
Instructions
- Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and trim off excess fat. Combine the onion powder, garlic powder, herbs, salt, pepper and paprika. Coat the chicken evenly with the combined seasoning.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in 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 the center (about 8 minutes on each side, depending on thickness). Add the remaining oil to cook the second batch. Transfer to a plate; set aside and keep warm.
- In the same pan, melt the butter and add the mushrooms. Cook until soft (about 3 minutes). Add the garlic, parsley, thyme, and rosemary; sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add in the wine or stock and let simmer to reduce to half.
- Return the chicken to the pan. Taste test and season with salt and pepper to your taste. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

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 -!!!
They all sound delicious!!

“Review” asap.

I would love to make this dish but I have one member of family who hates mushrooms.!! Can FIRM TOFU be used as substitute for mushrooms??
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
in the pictures there looks like there is something red on the chicken– is something missing from the recipe?
It is the crispiness from the chicken being cooked in the skillet. Hope you can make this soon!! XO
