I’m not only giving you easy, but a lot more. It happens in a flash in one skillet (start to finish in less than 30 minutes) with super simple everyday ingredients. Yet it’s absolutely delicious.\nJust one look at my golden seared chicken smothered in creamy sauce, sprinkled with colorful veggies, and everyone around the table is happy. It’s like you’ve been served a restaurant quality chicken dish in the comfort of your own home. Pin or bookmark this one for your\nevery day dinner\n.\nI love easy recipes that taste good. You will find plenty here on GypsyPlate. Life can be demanding, with a million things to tackle and finish. And then comes dinner time… what to cook? This one doesn’t need Einstein’s mind. This one demands so much less.\nQuick and easy\n: It’s ready in under 30 minutes, making it the perfect go-to meal when you’re short on time.\nOne-pan wonder\n: No fuss, just one skillet to cook everything, making clean-up a breeze.\nSuper flavorful\n: The creamy sauce, combined with seared chicken, mushrooms, and bell peppers, delivers amazing flavor in every bite.\nFlexibility\n: You can easily swap in whatever veggies or herbs you have on hand, and it still turns out delicious every time.\nLow carb\n: This dish is naturally low carb, so it’s a great option for anyone watching their carbs.\nKid-friendly\n: The creamy, flavorful sauce and tender chicken make it a hit with everyone, even picky eaters!\nVersatile\n: Serve it with pasta, rice, or even low-carb options like cauliflower rice, zoodles, or keto bread.\nChicken –\nI am normally a chicken thigh and leg person, but today all I had was some boneless skinless chicken breasts in the fridge. I said why not? Let me try cutting them into cutlets to make them flat. This yields tender, moist meat and shortens the cooking time. I have made this with bone-in or boneless chicken thighs as well. You just have to adjust the cook time, as bone-in will take more time to cook.\nVeggies –\nMushrooms and bell peppers (any color will do).\nGarlic\nHerbs –\nDried thyme and rosemary, fresh parsley.\nSpices –\nOnion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper\nHeavy Cream\nParmesan cheese\nOil and butter\nFollow me on YouTube!\nCheck out my brand new\nYouTube channel\n. New videos every week!\nFirst, I butterfly the chicken breast and then mix dried herbs and spice powders in a bowl. I sprinkle this mixture generously on both sides of the chicken cutlets. Next, I heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and place the chicken cutlets in, making sure not to overcrowd them so they sear rather than steam. It takes about 7-8 minutes per side to get them golden brown. Once they’re nicely browned, I plate them out.\nIn the same pan, I melt some more butter and sauté sliced mushrooms and bell pepper strips, along with garlic, salt, and pepper for a couple of minutes. Then I add parsley, thyme, and rosemary, and cook everything for another minute.\nNext, I stir in some cream and mix it well, making sure to scrape up any brown bits left from the chicken off the bottom of the pan into the sauce. I then add in parmesan cheese, stir it all together, and let it cook for another minute.\nThen it’s time to put the chicken back into this delicious sauce. I cover the pan and let it cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F. This doesn’t take long since the chicken is almost cooked already. I’m really just finishing it off and letting that wonderful sauce soak into the meat. I taste it and adjust the salt and pepper as needed, and finally, garnish with more parsley.\nI have added other veggies in this skillet in the past. Broccoli, green beans, cherry tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, peas, corn, carrots, asparagus… so anything. 🙂\nUse different herbs, whatever are your favorites. Oregano, basil, tarragon, sage. Fresh basil will really add incredible flavors.\nI like to play with cheeses also here. Think asiago, Romano, or even mozzarella.\nGoing for a more low cal option? Use half and half or evaporated milk. You might need to thicken the sauce with a little flour.\nFry some bacon in the beginning and cook the chicken in bacon grease. At the end, throw the crumbled bacon into the sauce.\nSprinkle in some lemon juice to add a citrusy kick to the sauce.\nAdd a splash of white wine when you are cooking the mushrooms. This adds tons of flavor.\nI absolutely love some\ncreole seasoning\nsome days to make it another level of flavor bomb.\nI normally serve it with pasta (any shapes, colors or varieties), rice (regular or brown), or mashed potatoes… all our regulars.\nSome days, some crusty bread or baguette go great with this chicken skillet. My\nmiracle no-knead bread\nis great with this skillet.\nSomething a little less ordinary? Try couscous, freekeh or quinoa.\nFor low carb options, try cauliflower rice or mash, chaffles, keto bread, zoodles, shirataki or palmini noodles.\nEven Chicken Thickness:\nButterflying the chicken breasts into half cutlets helps them cook evenly. If the chicken breasts are really thick, I sometimes gently pound them with a meat mallet to get an even thickness before I season them. This makes sure they cook nicely all the way through.\nHot Pan for Searing:\nI always make sure that the skillet is hot before adding the chicken. A hot pan is key to achieving that beautiful sear on the chicken, which really enhances the flavor and texture.\nDon’t Overcrowd the Pan:\nIf your skillet is on the smaller side, it’s better to sear the chicken in batches rather than overcrowding the pan. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking.\nScraping Brown Bits:\nWhen sautéing mushrooms and bell peppers in the same pan, make sure to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. These bits are packed with flavor and will enhance your sauce.\nCheck Chicken Temperature:\nTo make sure the chicken is fully cooked, I use a meat thermometer and check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This guarantees that the chicken is safe to eat without overcooking it.\nSo that’s it… This chicken mushroom cream combo is beloved by all ages everywhere. Look no further and give it a try tonight.\nLike with us, in no time this is one meal that will be going in your regular rotation.

I said why not? Let me try cutting them into cutlets to make them flat. This yields tender, moist meat and shortens the cooking time. I have made this with bone-in or boneless chicken thighs as well. You just have to adjust the cook time, as bone-in will take more time to cook.\n- **Veggies –** Mushrooms and bell peppers (any color will do).\n- **Garlic**\n- **Herbs –** Dried thyme and rosemary, fresh parsley.\n- **Spices –** Onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper\n- **Heavy Cream**\n- **Parmesan cheese**\n- **Oil and butter**\n\nFollow me on YouTube\\!\n\n![Picture of Alpana, blogger and recipe developer at GypsyPlate](https:\/\/gypsyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/youtube-profile_01.jpg)\n\nCheck out my brand new [YouTube channel](https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@gypsyplaterecipes). New videos every week\\!\n\nFirst, I butterfly the chicken breast and then mix dried herbs and spice powders in a bowl. I sprinkle this mixture generously on both sides of the chicken cutlets. Next, I heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and place the chicken cutlets in, making sure not to overcrowd them so they sear rather than steam. It takes about 7-8 minutes per side to get them golden brown. Once they’re nicely browned, I plate them out.\n\nIn the same pan, I melt some more butter and sauté sliced mushrooms and bell pepper strips, along with garlic, salt, and pepper for a couple of minutes. Then I add parsley, thyme, and rosemary, and cook everything for another minute.\n\n![Peppers and mushrooms cooking in a cast iron skillet.](https:\/\/gypsyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/easy-creamy-chicken-skillet_02-600x900.jpg)\n\nNext, I stir in some cream and mix it well, making sure to scrape up any brown bits left from the chicken off the bottom of the pan into the sauce. I then add in parmesan cheese, stir it all together, and let it cook for another minute.\n\nThen it’s time to put the chicken back into this delicious sauce. I cover the pan and let it cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F. This doesn’t take long since the chicken is almost cooked already. I’m really just finishing it off and letting that wonderful sauce soak into the meat. I taste it and adjust the salt and pepper as needed, and finally, garnish with more parsley.\n\n![Chicken in a creamy sauce along with peppers and mushrooms.](https:\/\/gypsyplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/easy-creamy-chicken-skillet_03-600x900.jpg)\n\n1. I have added other veggies in this skillet in the past. Broccoli, green beans, cherry tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, peas, corn, carrots, asparagus… so anything. 🙂\n2. Use different herbs, whatever are your favorites. Oregano, basil, tarragon, sage. Fresh basil will really add incredible flavors.\n3. I like to play with cheeses also here. Think asiago, Romano, or even mozzarella.\n4. Going for a more low cal option? Use half and half or evaporated milk. You might need to thicken the sauce with a little flour.\n5. Fry some bacon in the beginning and cook the chicken in bacon grease. At the end, throw the crumbled bacon into the sauce.\n6. Sprinkle in some lemon juice to add a citrusy kick to the sauce.\n7. Add a splash of white wine when you are cooking the mushrooms. This adds tons of flavor.\n8. I absolutely love some [creole seasoning](https:\/\/gypsyplate.com\/creole-seasoning\/) some days to make it another level of flavor bomb.\n\n1. I normally serve it with pasta (any shapes, colors or varieties), rice (regular or brown), or mashed potatoes… all our regulars.\n2. Some days, some crusty bread or baguette go great with this chicken skillet. My [miracle no-knead bread](https:\/\/gypsyplate.com\/miracle-no-knead-bread\/) is great with this skillet.\n3. Something a little less ordinary? Try couscous, freekeh or quinoa.\n4. For low carb options, try cauliflower rice or mash, chaffles, keto bread, zoodles, shirataki or palmini noodles.\n\n- **Even Chicken Thickness:** Butterflying the chicken breasts into half cutlets helps them cook evenly. If the chicken breasts are really thick, I sometimes gently pound them with a meat mallet to get an even thickness before I season them. This makes sure they cook nicely all the way through.\n- **Hot Pan for Searing:** I always make sure that the skillet is hot before adding the chicken. A hot pan is key to achieving that beautiful sear on the chicken, which really enhances the flavor and texture.\n- **Don’t Overcrowd the Pan:** If your skillet is on the smaller side, it’s better to sear the chicken in batches rather than overcrowding the pan. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking.\n- **Scraping Brown Bits:** When sautéing mushrooms and bell peppers in the same pan, make sure to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. These bits are packed with flavor and will enhance your sauce.\n- **Check Chicken Temperature:** To make sure the chicken is fully cooked, I use a meat thermometer and check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This guarantees that the chicken is safe to eat without overcooking it.\n\n![This creamy chicken skillet is your weekday best friend. It's super easy, it's super tasty and it's a low carb bomb.

Boilerpipe Text	My Creamy Chicken Skillet – If you’re on the lookout thinking “I want an easy chicken recipe,” here it is. I’m not only giving you easy, but a lot more. It happens in a flash in one skillet (start to finish in less than 30 minutes) with super simple everyday ingredients. Yet it’s absolutely delicious. Just one look at my golden seared chicken smothered in creamy sauce, sprinkled with colorful veggies, and everyone around the table is happy.

You will find plenty here on GypsyPlate. Life can be demanding, with a million things to tackle and finish. And then comes dinner time… what to cook? This one doesn’t need Einstein’s mind. This one demands so much less. Quick and easy : It’s ready in under 30 minutes, making it the perfect go-to meal when you’re short on time. One-pan wonder : No fuss, just one skillet to cook everything, making clean-up a breeze. Super flavorful : The creamy sauce, combined with seared chicken, mushrooms, and bell peppers, delivers amazing flavor in every bite.

You just have to adjust the cook time, as bone-in will take more time to cook. Veggies – Mushrooms and bell peppers (any color will do). Garlic Herbs – Dried thyme and rosemary, fresh parsley.

Mix onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper in a bowl and sprinkle this mixture generously on both sides of chicken cutlets. 2. Heat oil and butter on medium high heat in a skillet and place in the chicken cutlets, not overcrowding them. In the case of a smaller pan, cook them in batches. Cook undisturbed for 7-8 minutes. Flip and cook for another 7-8 minutes. Remove to a plate. 3. In the same pan, melt the butter and add in sliced mushrooms and peppers along with garlic, salt and pepper and sauté for five minutes, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan into the mixture. Stir in parsley, thyme, rosemary and cook for a minute. 4. Stir in cream and mix well for a couple of minutes. 5. Add in parmesan and mix well. Return chicken cutlets and cook for 5-8 minutes till chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 165°F). 6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. ### Notes 1. For a lighter version, replace cream with either half & half or evaporated milk. 2. Butterflying the chicken breasts into half cutlets helps them cook evenly. If the chicken breasts are really thick, I sometimes gently pound them with a meat mallet to get an even thickness before I season them. This makes sure they cook nicely all the way through. 3. If you want to thicken up the sauce, mix a little flour with some milk or water and gradually add in to the sauce until you get the desired consistency. 4. Check Chicken Temperature: To make sure the chicken is fully cooked, I use a meat thermometer and check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This guarantees that the chicken is safe to eat without overcooking it 5. .Leftovers : This is great for up to 3-4 days in an airtight container in your refrigerator. Just reheat with a splash more cream on the stove top or in the microwave. It's a great meal prep option. Did you make this? Tell us about it\!

Simple ingredients, simple techniques, no equipment needed that not everyone already has. This is new I’m my rotation for sure. In fact, I’d love to turn it into a soup somehow, the cream sauce was that decadent\! I sautéed the chicken the night before as part of meal prep.

Yes, you can use coconut cream. Just chill it in the fridge so it hardens up, then drain out the liquid portion. The remaining solid can be substituted for equal amounts of the heavy cream.

It's super easy, it's super tasty and it's a low carb bomb. Start to finish in 30 minutes, this just may become a new staple in your rotation.](https://gypsyplate.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/easy-creamy-chicken-skillet_04-600x900.jpg) I love easy recipes that taste good. You will find plenty here on GypsyPlate. Life can be demanding, with a million things to tackle and finish. And then comes dinner time… what to cook? This one doesn’t need Einstein’s mind. This one demands so much less. Quick and easy: It’s ready in under 30 minutes, making it the perfect go-to meal when you’re short on time. One-pan wonder: No fuss, just one skillet to cook everything, making clean-up a breeze. Super flavorful: The creamy sauce, combined with seared chicken, mushrooms, and bell peppers, delivers amazing flavor in every bite. Flexibility: You can easily swap in whatever veggies or herbs you have on hand, and it still turns out delicious every time. Low carb: This dish is naturally low carb, so it’s a great option for anyone watching their carbs. Kid-friendly: The creamy, flavorful sauce and tender chicken make it a hit with everyone, even picky eaters\! Versatile: Serve it with pasta, rice, or even low-carb options like cauliflower rice, zoodles, or keto bread. ![Sliced bell peppers on a plate.](https://gypsyplate.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/easy-creamy-chicken-skillet_01-600x900.jpg) - Chicken – I am normally a chicken thigh and leg person, but today all I had was some boneless skinless chicken breasts in the fridge. I said why not? Let me try cutting them into cutlets to make them flat. This yields tender, moist meat and shortens the cooking time. I have made this with bone-in or boneless chicken thighs as well. You just have to adjust the cook time, as bone-in will take more time to cook. - Veggies – Mushrooms and bell peppers (any color will do). - Garlic - Herbs – Dried thyme and rosemary, fresh parsley. - Spices – Onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper - Heavy Cream - Parmesan cheese - Oil and butter Follow me on YouTube\! ![Picture of Alpana, blogger and recipe developer at GypsyPlate](https://gypsyplate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/youtube-profile_01.jpg) Check out my brand new [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@gypsyplaterecipes). New videos every week\! First, I butterfly the chicken breast and then mix dried herbs and spice powders in a bowl. I sprinkle this mixture generously on both sides of the chicken cutlets. Next, I heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and place the chicken cutlets in, making sure not to overcrowd them so they sear rather than steam. It takes about 7-8 minutes per side to get them golden brown. Once they’re nicely browned, I plate them out. In the same pan, I melt some more butter and sauté sliced mushrooms and bell pepper strips, along with garlic, salt, and pepper for a couple of minutes. Then I add parsley, thyme, and rosemary, and cook everything for another minute. ![Peppers and mushrooms cooking in a cast iron skillet.](https://gypsyplate.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/easy-creamy-chicken-skillet_02-600x900.jpg) Next, I stir in some cream and mix it well, making sure to scrape up any brown bits left from the chicken off the bottom of the pan into the sauce. I then add in parmesan cheese, stir it all together, and let it cook for another minute. Then it’s time to put the chicken back into this delicious sauce. I cover the pan and let it cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F. This doesn’t take long since the chicken is almost cooked already. I’m really just finishing it off and letting that wonderful sauce soak into the meat. I taste it and adjust the salt and pepper as needed, and finally, garnish with more parsley. ![Chicken in a creamy sauce along with peppers and mushrooms.](https://gypsyplate.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/easy-creamy-chicken-skillet_03-600x900.jpg) 1. I have added other veggies in this skillet in the past. Broccoli, green beans, cherry tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, peas, corn, carrots, asparagus… so anything. 🙂 2. Use different herbs, whatever are your favorites. Oregano, basil, tarragon, sage. Fresh basil will really add incredible flavors. 3. I like to play with cheeses also here. Think asiago, Romano, or even mozzarella. 4. Going for a more low cal option? Use half and half or evaporated milk. You might need to thicken the sauce with a little flour. 5. Fry some bacon in the beginning and cook the chicken in bacon grease. At the end, throw the crumbled bacon into the sauce. 6. Sprinkle in some lemon juice to add a citrusy kick to the sauce. 7. Add a splash of white wine when you are cooking the mushrooms. This adds tons of flavor. 8. I absolutely love some [creole seasoning](https://gypsyplate.com/creole-seasoning/) some days to make it another level of flavor bomb. 1. I normally serve it with pasta (any shapes, colors or varieties), rice (regular or brown), or mashed potatoes… all our regulars. 2. Some days, some crusty bread or baguette go great with this chicken skillet. My [miracle no-knead bread](https://gypsyplate.com/miracle-no-knead-bread/) is great with this skillet. 3. Something a little less ordinary? Try couscous, freekeh or quinoa. 4. For low carb options, try cauliflower rice or mash, chaffles, keto bread, zoodles, shirataki or palmini noodles. - Even Chicken Thickness: Butterflying the chicken breasts into half cutlets helps them cook evenly. If the chicken breasts are really thick, I sometimes gently pound them with a meat mallet to get an even thickness before I season them. This makes sure they cook nicely all the way through. - Hot Pan for Searing: I always make sure that the skillet is hot before adding the chicken. A hot pan is key to achieving that beautiful sear on the chicken, which really enhances the flavor and texture. - Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: If your skillet is on the smaller side, it’s better to sear the chicken in batches rather than overcrowding the pan. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking. - Scraping Brown Bits: When sautéing mushrooms and bell peppers in the same pan, make sure to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. These bits are packed with flavor and will enhance your sauce. - Check Chicken Temperature: To make sure the chicken is fully cooked, I use a meat thermometer and check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This guarantees that the chicken is safe to eat without overcooking it. ![This creamy chicken skillet is your weekday best friend. It's super easy, it's super tasty and it's a low carb bomb.

Mix onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper in a bowl and sprinkle this mixture generously on both sides of chicken cutlets. 2. Heat oil and butter on medium high heat in a skillet and place in the chicken cutlets, not overcrowding them. In the case of a smaller pan, cook them in batches. Cook undisturbed for 7-8 minutes. Flip and cook for another 7-8 minutes. Remove to a plate. 3. In the same pan, melt the butter and add in sliced mushrooms and peppers along with garlic, salt and pepper and sauté for five minutes, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan into the mixture.

Return chicken cutlets and cook for 5-8 minutes till chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 165°F). 6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. ### Notes 1. For a lighter version, replace cream with either half & half or evaporated milk. 2. Butterflying the chicken breasts into half cutlets helps them cook evenly. If the chicken breasts are really thick, I sometimes gently pound them with a meat mallet to get an even thickness before I season them. This makes sure they cook nicely all the way through. 3. If you want to thicken up the sauce, mix a little flour with some milk or water and gradually add in to the sauce until you get the desired consistency. 4. Check Chicken Temperature: To make sure the chicken is fully cooked, I use a meat thermometer and check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This guarantees that the chicken is safe to eat without overcooking it 5. .Leftovers : This is great for up to 3-4 days in an airtight container in your refrigerator. Just reheat with a splash more cream on the stove top or in the microwave. It's a great meal prep option. Did you make this?
