I’m partnering with Kitchen Warehouse, Australia’s no.1 kitchenware store to bring you this delicious weeknight dinner idea. With quality products available at competitive prices, it’s your one stop shop for all your cooking needs. And today, I’m going to cook this amazing dinner in their 6.5 L – 32 cm Wolstead superior + chef’s pan with lid and two helper handles. Honestly, I’m totally impressed with its superior quality three layer non-stick coating and ease to use. Moreover, it’s suitable for all cooktops including induction. Perfect for a large family, this pan is ideal for sauteeing, frying and even oven baking. To view the entire range of Wolstead superior+ cookware, click here.

Lately, I’ve been on a mission to incorporate more veggies into my diet. To be exact, easy side dishes or one pot meals that tick all the boxes especially the nutritional requirements. That means, equal amounts of protein and veggies in one dish to create healthy satisfying dinner.

This creamy garlic mushroom chicken belongs to this category and is loaded with succulent chicken and mushrooms. The key to creating the best cream sauce is the perfectly delicious combo of garlic, chicken broth, cream, parmesan and plenty of herbs.

Let’s make this creamy chicken

Start with the chicken. I’ve used the most flavorful part of chicken in this recipe – chicken thighs. You can also substitute with chicken breasts if you like. First, sprinkle them generously with garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Then, transfer them to a pan and cook. Once cooked through, remove them from pan.

To the same pan, you can add onions and garlic, and stir fry until fragrant. To make this sauce flavorful, you’ll need plenty of garlic. The mushrooms go in next and sauté them until browned. Apart from mushrooms, you can also add spinach, green peas, and cherry tomatoes for pops of green and red.

Creamy sauce = an amazing combo of spices, cream, herbs and cheese

When the mushrooms are cooked, pour in the stock or broth, cream, parmesan, herbs and red pepper flakes (chili flakes). Trust me, this sauce is totally addicting. And yes, you’ll need plenty of herbs in this creamy garlic mushroom chicken recipe. Both rosemary leaves and parsley add incredible flavor to this dish.

When the creamy sauce is ready, add browned chicken and simmer for few more minutes. And there you go. Incredibly flavorful chicken for your next weeknight dinner.
