This recipe uses a few simple, but powerful ingredients such as chicken stock, white wine, cream and parmesan to create the silkiest, creamiest, sauce.

Substitutions & FAQ’s
Can I substitute chicken breasts for chicken thighs?
Yes! Depending if you are using bone-in thighs or not, may alter the cooking time slightly, so just keep this in mind. When the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees, it’s safe to eat.
Can I omit the white wine?
You bet – just replace with 1/4 cup of chicken stock.
What type of white wine should I use in this recipe?
I recommend something on the dryer side such as a chardonnay or sauvignon blanc.
What type of mushrooms should I use in this recipe?
Use what you have! Every time I make this recipe I use different mushrooms, depending on what looks freshest at the grocery store. Some to look for are: baby bellas, also knows as cremini, or white button mushrooms.
Storing & reheating
Have leftovers? Lucky you. Store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave for 34-50 seconds or add to a shallow pan and let simmer on your stove for 4-5 minutes. To thin the sauce, add a few tablespoons of chicken stock or water.
Can I freeze this recipe? I don’t recommend freezing this recipe as the cream doesn’t freeze great.

I made this tonight for myself and my boys since my mushroom hating weirdo husband was working night shift. This was absolutely delicious and had the stamp of approval from my nearly 2 year old twins. My one son kept saying “yum!”. I will be making this again for sure and the silver lining of my husband hating mushrooms is he won’t eat the 2 days worth of leftovers that will now be my lunch for work 😂
This was just incredible!!!! My husband and I loved it. We ate WAY TOO MUCH! Thank you!
I made this tonight for my family. It turned out perfectly! The one small change I made (because my family doesn’t like biting into mushrooms) was to chop the mushrooms pretty fine. The sauce still had all the mushroom flavor. I will definitely make this recipe again!
Hi Laura! Thank you for this review! And so glad you made some substitutions for your family. Glad you enjoyed it!
Made this tonight for dinner. We be making it again. Delicious
Hi Joan! Thanks for this lovely review. So happy you liked it!
We made this last night and the whole family enjoyed it! I didn’t have wine, so we increased the amount of broth and we served the dish with mushroom and mozza ravioli. So good!
Hi Trish! That sounds AMAZING! So happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for the review.xo
