When I think of a classic meat and veg combo, chicken and mushrooms are always at the top of my list. They’re two easy-to-find ingredients that you probably already have on hand. Meaty mushrooms are a hearty complement to juicy chicken in every way they’re served. From creamy mushroom and chicken soup to chicken and mushroom pesto pizza, there’s so much to love. Be prepared to get hooked on your new favorite ingredient duo. Here’s my list of my favorite chicken and mushroom recipes.
1. 20-Minute Skillet Mushroom Chicken
Need a filling meal whipped up in under 20 minutes? This chicken and mushroom skillet recipe has you covered. This drool-worthy meal is about to become the new family favorite. The best part is, it’s so quick and easy to make. Seriously, all you need is a single skillet. Then, boom! A delicious and nutritious meal is served.
2. Skillet Chicken and Mushroom Wine Sauce
So, the secret ingredient in this decadent chicken and mushroom dish is already in the title. But I still think that counts. Once you’ve browned the chicken and sautéed the mushrooms, a big glug of white wine will deglaze the pan. Be sure all those tasty, caramelized flavors stuck to the bottom don’t go to waste. This makes for a savory, comforting, and filling meal. Enjoy!
3. Creamy Parmesan Garlic Mushroom Chicken
I can never say no to a big bowl of cheesy, creamy, and dreamy pasta. It’s especially great when it’s packed with juicy chicken and tender mushrooms. One taste of the parmesan garlic sauce, and you’ll be hooked. Hot Tip: Using full-fat ingredients will definitely give you the creamiest sauce. But if you’re looking for something a little less calorie dense, half and half works great, too.

The perfect weeknight dinner is here. These pan-seared chicken thighs topped with a buttery garlic mushroom sauce are just impossible to say no to.

Smothered in a thick and creamy mushroom sauce, this mushroom chicken recipe is too good to be true. The savory sauce has a thick consistency like gravy.

7. Chinese Chicken and Mushrooms
I absolutely love Chinese-style chicken dishes. When it’s takeout day, I’m always going for Chinese. But when I’m looking to save a little money, this dish definitely satisfies my cravings. Tender, crispy chicken bits are tossed with mushrooms and zucchini in an aromatic soy sauce. If you don’t have zucchini, any leftover veggie works just as well. Don’t sweat it. After you serve up this Chinese chicken and mushroom dish, you’ll never want to order takeout again!

13. Grilled Chicken and Mushroom Yakitori
Chicken is my favorite kind of grilled meat. Barbecues just aren’t the same without it, especially when it’s on a skewer. Yakitori is a Japanese style of grilled chicken. It literally translates into “grilled chicken.” It consists of bite-sized chicken pieces on a bamboo skewer (but for this recipe, you can use regular skewers). What sets this type of grilled chicken apart is a delicious, sweet glaze. Be sure to keep brushing that yummy glaze as you grill the skewers. Delish!
