Creamy Garlic Parmesan Mushroom Chicken (Low-Carb Keto)Creamy chicken has become my ultimate weeknight dinner served over rice, pasta, a side of or a side of veggies when I’m doing low-carb. It’s made all in one pan in under 30 minutes for quick prep and clean-up!

This creamy sauce is EVERYTHING you want in a cream sauce and more. I’ve been perfecting it over the past several months and this is it. It’s loaded with lots of freshly minced garlic, parmesan, herbs, and cream. Today’s sauce features mushroom and they are the star of the dish. The mushrooms in the sauce were so delicious I had them alone by the spoonfuls! (hint: vegetarian dinner idea!) 
Creamy Garlic Parmesan Mushroom Chicken (Low-Carb Keto)

To Make Creamy Mushroom chicken you will need:

Chicken Breasts: This recipe calls for boneless, skinless chicken breasts but thinly pounded boneless, skinless chicken thighs will also work. The chicken breasts are cut in half horizontally to help the chicken cook fast and make thinner fillets.

Mushrooms: This recipe will work with just about any type of mushrooms. Sliced White, Crimini, or baby Bella mushrooms are preferred.

Onion: Finely minced onion or shallots. The recipe can do without the onions but why not? They add a nice caramelized flavor to the cream sauce.

Garlic: Lots of fresh minced or crush garlic. The recipe calls for 3-4 but I went ahead and used 5 because I’m hooked on garlic.

Heavy Cream: Aka double cream or heavy whipping cream. The recipe will also work with half & half, light cream or evaporated milk.

Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated parmesan cheese is optional but highly recommended. You can also use pre-grated parmesan.

Herbs: A few tablespoons of fresh herbs really do take this dish to the next level. You can use parsley, chives, rosemary, dill, cilantro, or leave out the herbs all together if you don’t have any on hand.

Creamy Garlic Parmesan Mushroom Chicken (Low-Carb Keto)After you’ve gathered all your ingredients it’s time to get cooking! The good news is that the hard part is behind you and all that’s left is for you to cook everything and do your magic! The chicken, mushrooms, onion, garlic and everything else is cooked in one pan for easy clean-up.

Serve on al dente pasta, on rice, a dressed arugula salad, steamed vegetables, with zoodles, or freshly toasted garlic bread.

  14. Curious if this can be made in the instant pot. It looks amazing!

    1. I haven’t tried making this in the instant pot and I don’t see the need to because the cuts of chicken cook very quickly. I would make it in the instant pot if you are using thighs or large cuts of chicken.

  15. Made it tonight for dinner. Excellent! Will make again……soon!

  16. very good but some major changes needed. 1) use 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast 2) reduce cream to 1 cup only as there was too much sauce. very good recipe.

    1. Thoughts on using a can of cream of mushroom instead of the heavy cream?

  22. All that i can say about this Recipe IS it is DELICIOUS

    1. My daughter loves this. I’m wondering if the sauce can be frozen and still good

  23. So easy to prepare and fast. I added some chilli flakes because the uk Cream made it a bit sweet. Salt content fine. Will definitely make again. INGREDIENTS IN LARDER OR FRIDGE SO Great for ‘pop-in’ guests.
