Ingredients
1 lb (approximately 450 g) chicken tenders or boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1/2 lb (about 225 g) mushrooms, rinsed and thickly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt (divided, plus more to taste)
1 tablespoon butter (divided)
1 tablespoon olive oil (divided)
2 garlic cloves, minced (or 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic plus 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup fresh herbs such as thyme, sage, and rosemary (minced)
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream (or 1/2 cup full-fat unsweetened coconut milk as a dairy-free alternative)
1/2 cup chicken broth or stock
Optional: 1 tablespoon arrowroot flour mixed with 1 tablespoon water for thickening (especially if using coconut milk)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare all ingredients by mincing garlic, chopping herbs, and slicing mushrooms.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add half the butter and olive oil. Sauté mushrooms seasoned with 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove mushrooms and set aside.
3. Season chicken with 1 teaspoon garlic salt and pepper. In the same pan, add remaining butter and olive oil, then cook chicken in a single layer for about 2-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until cooked through. Remove chicken and keep warm.
4. Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in chopped fresh dill, parsley, green onions, and other herbs like thyme, sage, and rosemary; cook for another minute.
5. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream (or coconut milk) and bring to a light simmer. Return mushrooms to the pan. If needed, stir in the arrowroot slurry to thicken the sauce, cooking briefly until it thickens.
6. Return the chicken to the pan, coating it in the sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional garlic salt, salt, and pepper as desired.
7. Serve immediately over your choice of side such as mashed potatoes, rice, roasted potatoes, or cauliflower rice.

🌱 Using fresh herbs provides the best flavor, as they soften and meld quickly in the sauce; if fresh dill is unavailable, substitute 1 teaspoon dried dill for 1 tablespoon fresh.
🥄 For a dairy-free version, full-fat unsweetened canned coconut milk is preferred; avoid sweetened or low-fat varieties for best taste and consistency.
🔄 This recipe can be easily doubled for more servings; cook chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
