One of my favorite recipes on Simple Joy is our Chicken Marsala. But every time I share it on social media I inevitably get readers who can’t have it because of the wine. That is one of my few recipes where you really do need the wine. Today I have a solution! This Mushroom Chicken has tons of great rich flavor just like Chicken Marsala. It is in a great creamy sauce. But it comes together without using any wine. Chicken and mushroom recipes are always delicious because the two go together like peanut butter and jelly. This recipe is no exception.
Storing Leftovers and Reheating
Leftovers of chicken with mushrooms can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the chicken and the sauce in a skillet over low heat. Stir regularly until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees. That being said, chicken breasts these days are about half a pound. So if you buy a pound of chicken, you can cut two breasts into four cutlets nicely and it is a little bit cheaper than the option above. Mushrooms have such a rich earthy flavor that they work so well with beef broth. My decision to use beef broth here was to add another layer of flavor and deepen the overall taste of the dish. I loved the end result. The purpose of dredging is to create a slightly crisp layer on your protein. I love what it does in this recipe, but if you want to skip this step, you will still enjoy this recipe.
Making Mushroom Chicken Low Carb
As this recipe is written, it has 15 grams of carbs per serving. (Always calculate your own nutritional values in your kitchen with the ingredients you are using if you are following a strict diet.) Theoretically, if you are allowed to have 57 grams of carbs a day, you can fit this recipe in as written. If you are looking to lower the carbs in this recipe, you can skip dredging the chicken and that will reduce the total number of carbs.
What to Serve with Mushroom Chicken
This recipe is fantastic over fettuccine noodles. If you are looking to keep the dish low carb, here are some other ideas. All of these recipes would be great as a side dish.
