Smothered Chicken in Mushroom Wine Sauce is a comforting one-skillet dinner featuring tender chicken breasts pan-seared and simmered in a rich, creamy mushroom and white wine sauce, topped with melted Gruyère cheese and crispy prosciutto.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 slices prosciutto
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 8 oz white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 tsp chopped fresh sage
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 3/4 cup chicken bone broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • Fresh thyme (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Dredge chicken breasts in the flour mixture.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook prosciutto until crispy (about 5 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Sear chicken on both sides for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Add another tablespoon of butter to brown around the chicken. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add mushrooms and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until golden. Stir in 2 tablespoons butter, shallots, thyme, and sage. Cook for 5 minutes until caramelized.
  5. Add white wine to deglaze the pan. Pour in the chicken broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet. If the sauce is too thin, stir in 1-2 teaspoons of flour. Sprinkle Gruyère cheese on top and simmer for 5–10 minutes until melted and bubbly.
  7. Top with crispy prosciutto and garnish with fresh thyme. Serve warm with bread, rice, or vegetables.
