    This chicken and mushroom skillet couldn’t be easier to make! Chicken breasts tossed in a delicious lemon butter sauce with mushrooms and spinach.

    Chicken and Mushroom Skillet

    What I love most about this chicken and mushroom skillet is that it’s pretty healthy and takes less than 30 minutes to cook. I love adding fresh vegetables to my weeknight meals so believe me when I say I eat this meal often.

    I didn’t add too much dairy to this dish because I wanted it to be a light meal. However, you may certainly make this as creamy and rich as you’d like. Although I guarantee you will love this just as is. It’s incredibly flavorful and a perfect weeknight meal.

    Ingredient’s You’ll Need

    • Chicken – You may certainly use boneless or bone-in chicken thighs for this recipe but it will take a little longer to cook.  Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
    • Spinach
    • Mushrooms
    • Chicken Stock
    • Onions
    • Garlic – I highly recommend using fresh garlic.
    • Butter – Will help thicken the sauce.
    • Parmesan Cheese – This along with the butter will help thicken the sauce a bit.
    • Lemon – If you’re not a fan of lemon you may omit it but it adds incredible flavor to this recipe.
    • Granulated Garlic
    • Paprika
    • Salt and Pepper

    How to Make Chicken and Mushroom Skillet:

    1. Season the chicken on both sides and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
    2. Saute the onions, spinach, and mushrooms for 4-5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 20 seconds.
    3. Add the chicken stock, lemon juice, butter, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken back into the skillet and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through.

    Recipe Variations: 

    • You may add flour or a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. To make a cornstarch slurry simply add equal parts of cornstarch and water.
    • Heavy cream will also help thicken the sauce.
    • Incorporate as many veggies as you’d like. Carrots, corn, and peas are fantastic additions to this recipe.

    What to Serve This With?

    Although this is low carb and keto-friendly you may serve this with creamy mashed potatoes or rice if not following a low carb diet. Other great side options include cheesy scalloped potatoes and cheese garlic biscuits.
