  • Yield: 6 1x
  • Method: Main Dish
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken breast, boneless skinless, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 oz white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 sweet yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and mozzarella cheese and stir to combine. Mix in the mushrooms and sliced onion until evenly coated.
  2. Lay the chicken breast flat in a baking dish. Cover evenly with the mushroom mixture.
  3. Bake at 375˚F for 35-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (165˚F internal temperature). Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

For best results, thinly slice the chicken to ensure even cooking. Leftovers can be used to make Mushroom Chicken Pizza by chopping and topping a prepared crust with olive oil, garlic, cheese, and the mixture. Garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Bake ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the entire dish, cover it tightly, and refrigerate it for up to one day before baking. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if you put it in the oven cold. This make-ahead flexibility makes the Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Bake perfect for easy entertaining.

What can I use instead of heavy cream for a lighter version?

For a lighter sauce, you can substitute full-fat evaporated milk or a half-and-half mixture of whole milk and a little cornstarch. While the texture will be slightly less rich, it will still create a deliciously creamy dish. The key is to avoid boiling the sauce if using these substitutes to prevent curdling.

What sides go well with this bake?

This hearty Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Bake pairs beautifully with simple sides that soak up the sauce. Serve it over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or white rice. A crisp green salad or steamed green beans also provide a nice fresh contrast to the rich, creamy main.
