Autumn means mushroom season. In my book, one of the best things you can do with a punnet of mushrooms is make chicken with mushroom sauce. This is one of those five-star best chicken recipes<\/a>\u2014the elegance and layers of flavor never fail to impress dinner guests. But the meal is also simple enough to whip up in under a half-hour whenever you fancy it, especially on cozy fall evenings.<\/p>\n Chicken with creamy mushroom sauce is an upscale version of a classic comfort food dinner<\/a>. The sliced fungi soak up creamy sherry sauce like tender little flavor sponges. Pair the dish with potatoes, pasta, polenta\u2014anything that will catch the rich mushroom sauce.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and milk until smooth.<\/p>\n Pound the chicken with a meat mallet to 1\/4-inch thickness.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken for five to six minutes per side or until no longer pink. Remove to a plate.<\/p>\n In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Saute the mushrooms and onions until tender. Add the sherry, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.<\/p>\n Stir in the cornstarch mixture and return to a boil, stirring for one to two minutes until thickened.<\/p>\n Add the chicken back to the pan and heat through.<\/p>\n Let the chicken breast with mushroom sauce cool before storing it. Once cooled, transfer it to an airtight container, secure the lid and store it in the fridge.<\/p>\n Reheat and eat chicken mushroom with cream sauce within two to three days.<\/p>\n Milk and cream-based sauces aren’t the best for freezing. They tend to separate, which changes the texture of the sauce. Typically, the lower the fat, the better the freeze. While we don’t recommend freezing this dish, you can if you need to. Just know the texture won’t have the wow factor it does when freshly cooked.<\/p>\n To meal-prep chicken with mushroom sauce for freezing, skip adding the milk until after you’ve defrosted and reheated the chicken, pouring the milk into the sauce as a last step. Frozen chicken with mushroom sauce will keep for up to three months.<\/p>\n You can absolutely use chicken thighs in this chicken with creamy mushroom sauce recipe. Thanks to their higher fat content, chicken thighs have a bolder flavor. Using thigh meat is a phenomenal yet simple way to give this dish a serious flavor boost without dramatically changing up the recipe. Take note: Chicken thighs need a little longer in the skillet. If you’re not sure how long, grab your instant-read meat thermometer. When the thighs hit an internal temperature of 165\u00b0F, they’ve finished cooking.<\/p>\n Inexpensive to mid-range sherries are perfect here. Use a dry fino or oloroso sherry if you’re in the mood for a more savory dinner. Sweeter pale cream, medium or cream sherry imparts a sweetness to the recipe that is utterly divine when paired with the earthy umami<\/a> flavor of the mushrooms. Save dark Pedro Ximenez or Moscatel sherry for sipping with dessert, when you can appreciate the full flavor.<\/p>\n You won’t want to miss a drop of that sherry-spiked sauce, so any sides like pasta, deluxe mashed potatoes<\/a> and rice are stellar options. Round out the meal with a simple Italian salad<\/a> or lemon artichoke romaine salad<\/a>. Basically any vibrant side of veg with a tangy, zesty twist, like a helping of\u00a0garlic Parmesan asparagus<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0sauteed zucchini<\/a>, will work too.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Easy yet elegant, chicken with mushroom sauce begs to be made on a cozy autumn evening.

Furthermore, using corn starch only makes sense if the sauce isn't thick enough; however, bringing it to a boil reduces the sauce, leaving me with very little.
