Skillet Chicken and Potatoes with Mushrooms | Mushroom chicken is a classic dish. But a one-skillet dish of chicken, mushrooms, and potatoes in a creamy wine sauce makes this a complete meal. Skillet Chicken and Potatoes

I love skillet chicken and potatoes with mushrooms! Maybe it’s the simplicity of a dish that packs so much flavor. Also, I love meaty mushrooms that soak in a savory sauce. Skillet Chicken and Potatoes

Lately, it’s been really hot and to keep things inside cool we normally opt to grill. But, some days it too hot to grill outside. The other day I looked like I had run a marathon instead of cooked dinner and it wasn’t a cute look. Skillet Chicken and Potatoes

Turning on the stovetop is out of the question so I invested in a portable induction burner. I love this thing because it heats evenly and is much cooler than the stovetop.

The only problem is that I only have one burner. Which means I have been getting creative with one-pot or one-skillet meals. Skillet Chicken and Potatoes

Skillet Chicken and Potatoes with Mushrooms Recipe

4 cups thinly sliced baby potatoes
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 – 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 cup flour
16 oz baby portobello mushrooms, quartered
1/4 cup red wine
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 shallot, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
parsley for garnish

I thought I was a fan of mushroom chicken but this dish may have made me a full-blown fanatic! It’s full of tender juicy mushrooms, buttery potatoes, and perfectly browned chicken in a savory wine sauce. It’s a full hearty meal and it only requires one skillet!

This dish is substantial enough to enjoy on it own but I love it over salad greens. Also, to get the potatoes perfectly golden and brown it’s important to soak the potatoes for a least 1 hour. Soaking the potatoes reduces the starches in the potatoes and helps them brown instead of burn. If you want to get ahead of the game you can soak the potatoes overnight so they are ready when it’s time to make dinner.
