Anyone want to learn how to cook melt-in-your-mouth chicken with mushrooms in a frying pan? The secret to these recipes is the creamy sauce! The enveloping gravy permeates every piece of chicken meat, making it infinitely juicy. Even the “capricious” breast fillet turns out soft.
You can use any mushrooms - from the forest or from the store. From simple champignons to delicious boletus mushrooms. Vegetables are also appropriate in this dish. Onions, carrots, broccoli or zucchini will make the creamy chicken and mushrooms taste richer. Experiment!

Italian pasta (pasta) with chicken, frozen mushrooms and cream
An independent dish that does not need edible “accompaniment”. While the chicken with mushrooms is cooking in the frying pan, you will have time to boil a fresh portion of pasta in the pan. You can also use leftovers from yesterday's half-eaten pasta sparingly.

- pasta (spaghetti, farfalle or other pasta) – 400 g;
- chicken breast - 2 pcs.;
- frozen mushrooms – 300 g;

- Place the chicken in the pan with the onion-mushroom mixture. Salt, add spices. Fry a little more, cover with cream. Simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes.
- Cook pasta in salted water. The pasta should remain slightly undercooked.
The formula for cooking pasta, invented by the Italians, is easy to remember - 1000/100/10. Explanation: for 100 g of pasta you will need 1000 ml of water and 10 g of salt.
- We transfer the boiled pasta into a frying pan, where the mushrooms and chicken have already reached condition. Sprinkle generously with grated cheese.
Now we just monitor the progress of cooking, without active participation. As soon as the cheese melts, turn off the burner and set the table.

Cooking chicken in creamy sauce with mushrooms and rice in a frying pan
Both chicken and mushrooms go great with rice. So let's prepare this delicious trio and pour creamy sauce over everything? A great recipe for a substantial lunch or dinner.
Ingredients for 3 servings:
- chicken – 500 g (weight excluding bones);
- champignons – 150 g;
- long grain rice, steamed – 1 cup (about 10 tbsp.);
- garlic – 3-4 cloves;
- 20% fat cream – 150 ml;
- greens - half a bunch;
- spices to taste, salt;
- water – 2 cups;
- oil.
Preparation progress:
- Pour the washed rice with cold water. Add some salt and boil for 7-10 minutes after boiling. The rice should be half cooked.
- Peel the garlic. We cut half into slices, and set aside the rest. Add chopped garlic to hot oil and fry until golden. Take it out and throw it away.
- Place the chicken in the vacated frying pan. Turn up the heat. Turn the chicken over as the crust appears.
- Chop the mushrooms into 2-8 pieces, depending on the size of the caps. Add to the fried chicken, turn off the heat. Heating level is below average. Simmer the dish for 10 minutes.
- Next, add the cream to the frying pan. It is better not to use low-fat ones - the sauce will not thicken. Crush the previously set aside garlic or finely chop it. Add after the cream. Mix everything and heat until a barely noticeable boil begins.
- Add rice to the chicken and mushrooms. Season with thyme or Provençal herbs. Let's pepper it a little and be sure to add salt. After 2 minutes, turn off the heat.
Before serving, sprinkle the dish with chopped herbs and generously pour cream sauce from the bottom of the pan.
Cooking features
Despite the simplicity of preparation, this dish can also be ruined. For inexperienced cooks, it may come out dry or, on the contrary, resemble a shapeless, unappetizing mass. Knowing a few things will save you from mistakes and allow you to get the expected result even in the absence of culinary experience.
- Potatoes can be stewed with various mushrooms, including wild mushrooms. The latter will make the food more aromatic, but most wild mushrooms require preliminary preparation: thorough cleaning, prolonged soaking, and boiling. These complex manipulations can be avoided only when using porcini mushrooms, chanterelles, oyster mushrooms and champignons. Therefore, they are most often used to prepare dishes.
- Not only fresh mushrooms are suitable, but also frozen, dried, and canned ones. Before stewing, salted and pickled mushrooms are washed and allowed to dry. Dried mushrooms need to be soaked to their original volume, filled with cool water and left for a couple of hours. Frozen mushrooms can most often be used without even allowing them to thaw, since they are usually frozen in already prepared and cut pieces. If the mushrooms are large, but frozen whole, they should be allowed to thaw in natural conditions, without exposing them to sudden temperature changes, and then chopped according to the instructions in the recipe.
- When stewed with potatoes and mushrooms, chicken meat will be more juicy and tender if it has not been previously frozen. If the poultry meat has been frozen, place it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator and wait for it to thaw. Then it will not lose its juiciness.
- With potatoes and mushrooms you can stew not only chicken fillet, but also legs, but this will take more time.
- If the chicken is stewed in large pieces, the potatoes should also be cut into large pieces, otherwise by the time the chicken is ready it will turn into mush. When stewing chicken fillet cut into small cubes, the potatoes should be cut into medium-sized pieces, otherwise they will not have time to soften.
- If you fry vegetables, mushrooms and chicken before stewing, the dish will be more tasty, but also more nutritious.
- Often, dishes made from potatoes, chicken and mushrooms include other vegetables: various types of cabbage, eggplants, tomatoes, zucchini. The more juicy vegetables you take, the less water or broth you will need to stew, sometimes you can even do without adding liquid. However, in most cases it is necessary to add either sauce, or broth, or at least purified water.
Potatoes stewed with mushrooms and chicken are suitable not only for the everyday table. If this dish is prepared deliciously, then you won’t be ashamed to offer it to guests.
