Chicken Mushroom
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!

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!
Yvonne says
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!
Margie says
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.
