Hi, my loves! Now that Autumn is officially here with all the mist, rain, and sweaters, I thought that a creamy and flavorful chicken recipe would be perfect for any family dinner table. The smell from all the herbs and the garlic pairs perfectly with the tenderness of the chicken breasts and the creaminess of the white sauce. So, why not spend only 30 minutes to rock this cream chicken recipe and impress all your loved ones?

Variations of Cream Chicken Recipe

Even though I love cream chicken only with garlic and herbs, I am aware that not everybody shares my tastes. So, I surfed a little the big mighty Internet and find three variations of the crem chicken recipe just for you.

I will give you some basic hints about how to prepare the three variations, but for step-by-step recipes please do some extra research yourself. You know how I always say you should be well informed before starting preparing anything!

How to Make Cream Chicken with Mushrooms?

If you’d love to improve a little the main cream chicken recipe, you can just add some mushrooms to your pan. Any type of small sliceable mushrooms will work here. Swiss/Cremini mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms are great too.

Any mushrooms lover will go for this recipe, I’m sure! Is a creamy way to serve mushrooms and chicken together and the herbs and garlic flavors pair just fine with the two.

How to Make Creamy Chicken Breasts with Lemon?

When it comes to this variation of cream chicken, remember that the pan-seared chicken is the most tender, and the creamy lemon sauce is rich and tangy. You just have to give up to all the herbs from my recipe and add lemon juice and some lemon slices.

It is the most different in taste variation of the main cream chicken recipe, that’s for sure. However, I recommend trying it at least one time, is an interesting way of serving chicken.

How to Make Creamy Tuscan Chicken?

Tuscan Chicken is a blend of herb-seasoned chicken breasts sautéed with oven-roasted garlic. Also, the sweet roasted red peppers and spinach add flavor, while the wine and garlic cream sauce give everything a specific creaminess.

This dish is actually not from Italy, but originally created by the Olive Garden and called Tuscan Garlic Chicken! However, if you want to add some Italian kick, just mix everything with some curly fettuccine and fresh basil. Also, serve them with a full, buttery Italian Chardonnay and bon appetit!
