A Little Story Before We Start…

There’s something about a creamy mushroom sauce that just feels like a warm hug on a plate.

I remember the first time I made this—it was one of those days when I just wanted to cook something comforting but also fancy enough to feel like a restaurant dish.

I had some fresh mushrooms sitting in the fridge, and I thought, why not? A quick creamy sauce, some well-marinated grilled chicken, and dinner was sorted.

Now, this dish has become a go-to for me, especially when I want to impress someone without putting in too much effort. It’s easy, packed with flavor, and honestly, once you make it, you’ll wonder why you haven’t been making it all this time!

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Can I use oil instead of butter?

Yes, but butter adds a rich flavor that enhances the sauce. If you want a healthier option, you can use olive oil.

How do I know when the onions are ready?

They should turn soft and slightly golden but not brown. This ensures they release their sweetness into the sauce.

Can I use garlic paste instead of fresh chopped garlic?

Yes, but fresh garlic gives a stronger, fresher flavor. Garlic paste may have a slightly different taste.

What should I do if my mushrooms dry out too quickly?

Reduce the heat and add a small splash of water or extra chicken stock to keep them moist.

Can I use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock?

Yes, vegetable stock works well as a substitute and keeps the dish vegetarian-friendly.

What if I don’t have fresh cream?

You can use full-fat milk mixed with a bit of cornstarch for thickness or substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.

How do I make the sauce thicker?

Let it simmer longer, or add a small amount of cornstarch mixed with water to thicken it.

Can I make the sauce ahead of time?

Yes! Store it in the fridge for up to two days and reheat before serving. If it thickens too much, add a little milk or stock to loosen it.

Should I use boneless or bone-in chicken?

Boneless chicken breast is best for grilling as it cooks faster, but bone-in chicken will have more flavor and stay juicier

Can I marinate the chicken overnight?

Absolutely! A longer marination time enhances the flavors. Just keep it refrigerated and let it come to room temperature before grilling.

Can I skip the marination step?

You can, but marinating helps the flavors penetrate the chicken better. If short on time, even 5–10 minutes will make a difference.

What if I don’t have a grill pan?

You can use a regular pan, bake it in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 25 minutes, or even use an air fryer.

Can I slice the chicken before serving?

 

Yes! Slicing diagonally makes for a beautiful presentation and allows the juices to distribute evenly.

What can I serve this with?

This pairs wonderfully with garlic bread, mashed potatoes, herbed rice, or even roasted vegetables.

What other garnishes can I use?

Chopped parsley, grated parmesan, or a drizzle of olive oil can enhance both flavor and presentation.
