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!
This restaurant-style grilled chicken with creamy mushroom sauce is rich, comforting, and full of flavour. Juicy chicken breasts are marinated with aromatic spices and grilled to perfection, then served over a bed of velvety mushroom sauce made with butter, garlic, and fresh cream. It's the kind of dish that looks impressive but is actually quite simple to make at home. Whether you're planning a cosy dinner, a weekend treat, or a fancy starter for guests, this recipe is sure to impress. Pair it with garlic bread, herbed rice, or roasted veg for a complete meal.
Clean and slice the mushrooms.
Finely chop onions and garlic.
Clean and pat dry the chicken breasts.
Chop coriander leaves.

Turn off the heat and keep it aside.
In a bowl, add the cleaned chicken breasts.

Grill them on medium-low heat for seven minutes.
Brush a little oil if needed for a crispy texture.
Flip the chicken and cook the other side for another seven minutes.
