This Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Bake is a comforting one-dish dinner with juicy chicken nestled in a rich garlic-Parmesan sauce. Perfect for cozy evenings, it pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, pasta, or vegetables.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs or breasts
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken until golden on both sides. Transfer to a baking dish.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms until browned. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, scraping the skillet. Add heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer and thicken. Stir in half of the Parmesan and a handful of mozzarella until smooth.
  4. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
  5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is golden.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra richness, use bone-in thighs with skin-on for more flavor.
  • Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce for a variation.
  • You can prep the sauce a day ahead—just reheat and pour over before baking.
