Chicken with mushroom sauce
Instructions
Tips
Season the chicken well with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help bring out its natural flavour and create delicious and juicy grilled meat. Fry the meat evenly on both sides until it is fully cooked through. You can use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the meat. Once it reaches an internal temperature of 74°C, it should be done. If you do not have a meat thermometer, there are a few alternative methods to check if it is done. One way is to make a small cut near the bone and look at the colour of the meat. If it is white and fully cooked all the way through, the meat is done. Another method is pressing down on the meat with a fork or finger. If it feels firm and the juices run clear, it is likely fully cooked. However, these methods may not be as reliable as using a thermometer.

Grilled chicken with mushroom sauce
Grilled chicken with mushroom sauce is a classic dish that combines juicy, tender chicken with a rich, savoury sauce. The secret to making the chicken extra delicious is all in the pan-frying – getting the perfect char on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender. It makes the perfect complement to the velvety texture of the mushroom sauce, making for a truly delightful meal.

Easy cream of mushroom sauce for chicken
The creamy mushroom sauce is what ties the dish together. The perfect blend of tender mushrooms, spices, herbs, and creamy cooking cream creates a sauce that is both rich and savoury, adding a depth of flavour to the dish that is simply unbeatable. The texture of the sauce is velvety and smooth with just the right amount of thickness to perfectly coat each bite. The creamy goodness complements the crispy exterior and juicy interior of the grilled meat perfectly, making each bite unbelievably scrumptious. If you love to keep things simple, serve the chicken and mushroom cream sauce with plain, steamed rice, which acts as the perfect vessel for soaking up all the flavours of the sauce.
Delicious rosemary and garlic flavour
The addition of rosemary and garlic only adds to the depth of the mushroom sauce. Rosemary brings a bold, herbal flavour with a hint of earthiness that perfectly complements the rich, savoury taste of the mushrooms. Garlic, on the other hand, adds a pungent, aromatic flavour that adds depth and balance to the sauce. The herbal notes from the rosemary and the pungent taste of the garlic enhance the flavours of the juicy, tender meat, creating an irresistible taste you do not want to miss out on.
Make it your own
You can easily adapt the recipe for chicken with mushroom sauce to suit your personal tastes and preferences. Whether you are looking to experiment with different flavours or ingredients, our chicken with mushroom sauce recipe is perfect for you to put your own spin on it.
Try adding different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster mushrooms. Shiitake mushrooms have a rich, meaty flavour with a slightly earthy and smoky taste. Their chewy texture and meaty aroma are a great addition to the dish. If you prefer a more delicate taste, oyster mushrooms are a great choice as they have a delicate, subtly sweet and nutty flavour with a tender, velvety texture that makes them perfect for use in sauces and soups. To counterbalance the rich and decadent flavours of the mushroom sauce and chicken thighs, you can also add a splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice for a burst of freshness.
