It’s comforting, satisfying, and perfectly keto-friendly — the ideal meal for cozy nights or weekly meal prep. This easy one-pan recipe delivers restaurant-level flavor without the carbs or stress.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Chicken and Sauce:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 8 oz (225g) cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup (50g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic: In the same skillet, cook sliced mushrooms for 5–6 minutes until golden. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Make the Cream Sauce: Reduce heat to medium. Add cream, chicken broth, Dijon, and half the Parmesan. Whisk until smooth and slightly thickened.
  5. Assemble: Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over top, and sprinkle mozzarella and remaining Parmesan evenly.
  6. Bake: Transfer to oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and sauce is bubbling. Garnish with parsley.

Notes

  • Pro Tip: Use a mix of mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, button) for more depth of flavor.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Replace heavy cream with coconut milk and use nutritional yeast instead of cheese.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking. Add 5 minutes to bake time.
  • Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze for 2 months. Reheat in oven at 325°F for 10–15 minutes.
  • Serving Ideas: Serve with cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, or a crisp green salad for a complete keto meal.
