Rotisserie Chicken in Creamy Mushroom Sauce

by Anna Chwistek
Anna Chwistek

Shredded rotisserie chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce. This easy chicken and mushroom dish simmered in a white gravy is pure comfort. Using rotisserie chicken makes this a simple, 20 minute weeknight dinner. Extra bonus? The whole meal comes together in a single pan. Dinner, my friends, is served.

This is one of those dinners that takes about 20 minutes to make from start to finish. We use shredded rotisserie chicken rather than cook the chicken from scratch. So this is the best way to use up your leftover chicken or turkey. It cuts way down on the prep with no noticeable taste difference.

This one-pan chicken and mushroom dinner is simple enough to wow everyone on a weeknight, but it’s also special enough to impress at a dinner party. 
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 300 g/11 oz shredded rotisserie chicken 
  • 200 g/7 oz cremini mushrooms
  • 1 large garlic clove
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream, or half-and-half
  • 1 + 1/4 cup/300 ml chicken broth, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

spices

  • 1/2 tsp each: salt + black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp each: cayenne pepper, grated nutmeg, thyme, curry powder

Instructions

    1. Get all the prep done before you start cooking: mince the garlic and thinly slice the mushrooms.
    2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add mushrooms. Cook until they start to brown and begin to release some moisture, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 tbsp butter and cook until golden brown and tender, about 2 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, add garlic and spices. Cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Remove from skillet.
    3. Reduce heat to low and melt the remaining butter. Add flour and stir continuously until a paste forms, this is called a roux. Cook for 2 minutes. Add broth to the roux, stirring while you pour, until you get a smooth sauce. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring continuously.
    4. Add cream and bring to a boil. Add shredded chicken and mushrooms, stir to combine. Simmer over medium, for 3 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through. Add lemon juice and adjust salt.
    5. Garnish with chopped parsley and some extra black pepper. Enjoy!
