A creamy, herby, and comforting dish featuring chicken cooked in a luscious mushroom cream sauce served over rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 600g chicken breast, cut into large chunks
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 250g mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 cups cooked white rice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken pieces 4–5 minutes until golden on the outside. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, sauté mushrooms until browned. Add onion and cook until softened. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and simmer 2 minutes, scraping up all the flavorful bits from the pan.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Simmer 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Return chicken to the pan and cook 6–8 minutes until fully cooked and coated in the creamy sauce.
  7. Stir in fresh dill and parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  8. Serve generously over warm rice, spooning extra mushroom sauce on top.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing chicken.
  • Let sauce simmer gently for maximum creaminess.
  • Fresh dill makes a big difference in flavor.
