easy mushroom sauce

This creamy mushroom sauce is quick and easy to prepare and goes with anything!

Creamy Mushroom Sauce

onion

butter

mushrooms (brown

salt and ground pepper

garlic (minced)

fresh thyme (or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme)

white wine

chicken broth

heavy cream

cornstarch

parsley

Saute onion in butter until softened, about 3-5 minutes.

Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Cook until mushrooms have released juices. Add garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the wine to deglaze and loosen any bits off the pan and simmer a few minutes until the wine has almost evaporated.

Add the chicken broth and cream. Simmer 5 minutes or until reduced by half.

To thicken the sauce further, combine cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water (or broth) and mix well. Add cornstarch mixture into the broth a little bit at a time to reach desired consistency. You may not need all of the cornstarch mixture.

Let simmer 1 minute.

Season with parsley, salt and pepper to taste.

This creamy mushroom pasta with bacon is SO GOOD. Sautéed mushrooms, savory bacon, and tender pasta noodles tossed in a creamy garlic sauce in just 30 minutes – it doesn&#039;t get much better than this!

Best Creamy Mushroom Sauce for Pasta

pasta noodles (I used rigatoni noodles)

mushrooms (thinly sliced)

bacon strips (roughly chopped)

butter ((optional, see note))

garlic

flour

milk (or heavy cream)

salt (to taste)

½ teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper (or 1/8 teaspoon finely ground black pepper)

parmesan cheese (optional topping)

parsley (optional garnish)

Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain, toss with a drizzle of olive oil, and set aside.

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium high heat until just crisp (don&#39;t overcook it). Use tongs to transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly before roughly chopping. *Keep bacon drippings in the pan* (See note for alternate method)

Over medium-high heat, add garlic and mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until garlic is fragrant and mushrooms are tender. Stir in bacon pieces.

Sprinkle flour over the garlic, mushrooms, and bacon and stir for 1 minute.

Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then heavy cream, and milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a high simmer.

Simmer for 5-10 minutes until sauce becomes thickened and creamy.

Season with salt and pepper. Stir in pasta noodles.

Taste, add salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with parmesan and parsley if desired and serve. Enjoy!

Easy, creamy mushroom sauce for chicken with rich, savory garlic and herb flavors made in just 15 minutes. You&#039;ll be tempted to lick the plate clean when you serve chicken with mushroom cream sauce!

Easy Mushroom Sauce for Chicken Recipe

chicken breasts (thighs also work fine)

salt and pepper

Herbs de Provence (or Italian seasoning)

mushrooms (sliced (about 1 cup sliced mushrooms))

dijon mustard

salt

black pepper

cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle all over with Herbs de Provence (or Italian seasoning).

In a large cast iron skillet (or other oven-safe skillet - see note), combine oil and butter over medium-high heat.

Once butter is melted, add the chicken and brown on each side for 1-2 minutes until you get a nice browned color. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

In the same skillet, begin preparing the sauce by adding the butter. Once melted, stir in garlic and mushrooms and sauté 2-3 minutes until mushrooms are browned and garlic is fragrant.

Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, cook for two minutes at a high boil. Remove from heat.

Return chicken to skillet. Spoon sauce over the chicken, then transfer skillet to the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce has reduced (it should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon).

Spoon the mushroom sauce over the chicken and serve.

The Best Creamy Mushroom Sauce For Steaks

5.3 oz (150 grams) button mushrooms, cut in half then sliced

fl oz (150 milliliters) thickened cream

garlic, crushed

tsp black pepper

tsp ground sea salt

tsp cooking oil

Prepare the Mushrooms:

Heat the cooking oil in a medium saucepan over high heat.

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and stir-fry until they are lightly browned. This should take about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium.

Cook the Sauce:

Add the thickened cream to the saucepan with the mushrooms.

Season with ground sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Be sure to watch that the cream doesn’t overboil.

Add Garlic and Parsley:

Once the sauce has reduced by half, add the crushed garlic to the saucepan.

Cook for another minute to let the garlic flavor infuse into the sauce.

Finish and Serve:

Remove the saucepan from the heat.

Serve the creamy mushroom sauce hot over your favorite steak or pasta.

Reheat Instructions:

To reheat the sauce, place the saucepan back on low heat.

Let the sauce “melt” and heat through gently.

This is a beautiful sauce! They make something similar here in Portugal for their steaks, but the only time I've seen it made the person used a premade knorr cube mix. 

I'm now looking forward to playing with this recipe!

Delicious! so simple to make and tastes devine will use time and time again! thank you :)

Tried this recipe out yesterday and it was delicious. I posted the link to this recipe on my blog because more people should know about this recipe :)

This is a wonderful sauce. We have just had it on venison steak. I will certainly be using the recipe a lot. Thank you.

Mouthwatering! Can't believe how quick and easy this recipe is. Decided to use some leftover cream but it wasn't enough. So I used one percent milk and thickened it with a tblsp of butter and half a tbls of flour, stirring about five or six minutes until hot and nicely thickened, then added salt, pepper &amp; garlic and cooked another couple minutes. This recipe is a keeper! Thank you for sharing!

I used sour cream with a bit of milk to thin it down as that's all I had, and added a dash of Worcester sauce, delish!

very nice flavour and easy to make   THANKS

i tasted this sauce with beef liver in Spain,it was a classic! i,ve since used your recipe at home.it tastes the same as i had.thank you.

This is amazing. made it 3 days ago for steak, and made it again tonight, thinned it with more cream and milk, added shrimp and made it into a pasta sauce! OUT OF THIS WORLD...

Unreal!!!excellent as good as the finest restaurant in San Francisco.

i like the sauce pretty quick and easy to make, made it in 8mins and super tasty. thanks

I was recently in Portugal and enjoyed mushroom sauce on steak, so googled a recipe for it and found yours try it this evening and really enjoyed it. Delicious!  I reduced the salt to half and next time I will reduce it a bit more.  Thank you.

I just made this and it was really delicious!!! Thank you for sharing your amazing recipe :)  I will definitely be making a bigger portion next time!

Dear Martyna,

Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Your recipe is almost identical to my old favourite. The only difference is that I precook the sliced mushrooms in a microwave oven until they have shed about half their water. This makes stir-frying easier and faster.

Regards,

P.S. I also use that sauce on mushroom or chicken vol-au-vent — I then increase the quantity of cream and add chicken broth... and brandy.

This is the best!! Was so yum simple to make!! LOVE ?

Had to leave the garlic out but my husband lived it, thank you :)

We often have Sirloin steak for our treat.  I love mushroom .sauce when dinning out, which isn't often. It's my 67 Birthday on Friday and yes, we are having steak.  With your recipe I'm going to try mushroom sauce.  With home made rhubarb, from the garden, crumble.  I'm fed up with jacket potatoes though.  Don't want mash again.  Any other ideas.  Not chips thouvgh.
Kind Regards

Awesome Sauce!
Easy to make and even more delicious to eat!

Hi Martyna:

I just used this recipe tonight as a practice run for Christmas and I have to say it was sensational!! Simple, easy to follow and absolutely delicious! Served on porterhouse steak with a few other family favorites and I will definitely be making it many more times!!! Thanks again for sharing this. I used cooking cream and fresh parsley, very happy with the results. 

Rob.

There is no way there is a better creamy mushroom sauce, sorry people, but this is THE one.
