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 loved this meal! I will be making it again
Made this with some tweaks (deglazed the pan with white wine) and LOVED it! Def making again! My 12 yr old ate it up too!
Made this tonight, and it was SO good! Hubby loved it too! I followed the recipe as you had it. I did add the white wine (Chardonnay) with the mushrooms….definitely a plus! Prep time was longer than stated, but once everything was ready, it went fast. Will definitely make again! Love your recipes, and can’t wait to make others!
I made this meal tonight and we absolutely loved it, however, it took a LOT longer than 15 minutes to cook, I planned for a quick meal but ended up frustrated by the time it was ready!
I added some wine to the mushroom as suggested, it was delicious.
I followed the ingredients for 6 people but it was only enough for 3 adults.
I just tried this recipe for fun!! It smells so awesome… i added an indian touch to it… by adding onions and garlic with touch of masalas. It still came out rwale well… Ooh next time will try by the book…
Whole family loved this recipe. The only herb that I had on hand was thyme and it was still delicious. This recipe is a keeper!
It his is amazing! I combined all the chicken spices in A large bag and shook the things. Then with the sauce….I added 1 more T butter, mixed about 2T flour in 1/2 c chicken broth and added to ‘shrooms until thickened. Be still my heart!
Thank you! That’s the twist I was looking for!
Loved your tip thanks!
Wow! Super delicious and easy to make. I find Cafe delights is my go to site. Thanks for being here.
SOOOOO DELICIOUS! I love all of your recipes!
I made this with boneless chicken breasts cut into smaller pieces and it was phenomenal. It was printed for future use. 🙂
I used less than half the salt this recipe called for and it was still super salty. Otherwise delicious.
Verry good recipe
