    Busy weeknights require quick and easy Keto friendly dinner ideas and if that’s what you’re looking for, you have come to the right place!  Chicken is one of the most popular low carb proteins that I love to make and is the star of this dish.

    I take thinly sliced chicken, sauté it in sun-dried tomato oil, giving it a good sear and plenty of flavor.  Fresh baby bella mushrooms, shallots and garlic are then sautéed and further flavor the chicken.  A quick white wine and chicken broth reduction brings it all together and voila, dinner is served and is absolutely delicious.

    This quick and easy Keto dinner will please even the pickiest eaters and taste like something you order in a restaurant.  Pair with the low carb vegetable of your choice like Sautéed Spinach, Shredded Brussels Sprouts or Parmesan Garlic Spaghetti Squash and you have a healthy satisfying meal!

    💡 Tips

    • You only need the chicken broth and wine to reduce slightly, you’re not looking for a thick gravy consistency or even much of a sauce.  It’s just enough to keep the chicken juicy and give it great flavor.
    • If you wanted more of a sauce, add in ½ more of the chicken broth and whisk in about ¼-1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum, then cook until it has reached your desired thickness.
    • You can easily turn this into a creamy sauce by adding in some heavy cream, about ⅓ cup should be plenty.  
    • Don’t overcook the chicken, otherwise it will be tough and dry. Since the pieces are thinly sliced, they cook up in no time.
    • Be sure to buy sun-dried tomatoes that are packed in oil. The oil is loaded with amazing flavor and is an important part of this dish. Don't forget to save any unused oil to use in other recipes!

    ☑️ Storage Instructions

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze.

    🍴 What to Serve with Mushroom Chicken

    This Keto chicken recipe will pair nicely with just about any side dish that you like, but here are a few that I think would go especially well together:

    • Green Beans with Bacon
    • Easy Creamed Spinach
    • Air Fryer Asparagus
    • Grilled Broccolini

    🔄 Substitutions and Additions

    • If you don’t have chicken breast on hand, you can substitute with chicken thighs.  Make sure they are boneless and skinless.
    • If you don’t have white wine on hand, you can use all chicken broth instead.  It won’t have the exact same depth of flavor, but will still taste delicious!
    • Cremini mushrooms are very flavorful, but if you can’t find them, you can certainly use white button mushrooms instead. 
    • If you want a stronger mushroom flavor, buy a small amount of dried porcini mushrooms.  Reconstitute them in boiling hot water for a few minutes, then add them into the sauce.  But don’t toss that water, instead add it in at the deglazing step.  That mushroom water will add incredible flavor to the dish.  I’ve used this trick for years, typically when making steak and mushrooms, it works so well!
    • If you can’t find shallots, you can use thinly sliced yellow onions instead.
    • If you don’t have fresh parsley, but happen to have fresh thyme on hand, add in about 1 teaspoon a few minutes before the dish is ready.
    • For a slight kick of heat, add in a pinch of red pepper flakes.

    Are Mushrooms ok for Keto?

    Yes, they sure are!  Besides being low in carbs with only just over 3 grams of net carbs per serving, they are also high in potassium.  You can read more about the health benefits of mushrooms in this article.

    What Kind of Chicken Can I Eat on Keto?

    Since chicken had essentially zero carbs, any cut of chicken make the perfect protein for a Keto diet.  You can find a lot of great Keto chicken recipes here!

    Can We Eat Chicken and Mushroom Together?

    Absolutely!  They go perfectly together and I’ve made several dishes with this wonderful combination including Tuscan Chicken Skillet, Creamy Bacon Mushroom Chicken, Creamy Chicken Marsala and Chicken Cacciatore, just to name a few.
