These 16 Chicken And Mushroom Recipes Go Way Beyond Marsala

When you think of chicken and mushrooms, you might immediately think of creamy chicken marsala. And for good reason; it's savory, rich, special, yet easy enough to make for a weeknight dinner. But this combination of chicken and mushrooms might just be better than PB&J as far as we're concerned, and it's the key to so many of our other new favorite dishes, like skillet chicken cacciatore, Thai chicken coconut soup, and chicken scallopini.

In all these recipes, tender, juicy chicken cooks alongside the mushrooms, which absorb all that flavor as they're rendered. You'll feel like a professional chef whichever recipe you cook up, yet there's no need to be intimidated by any of these easy recipes. Chicken fricassee is as fun to say as it is to eat, and has a sauce that's basically drinkable. Craving chicken cacciatore but in a set-it-and-forget-it mood? Look no further than our slow-cooker chicken cacciatore. And if you're a Cheesecake Factory fan, you'll freak out how good our copycat Cheesecake Factory Madeira chicken recipe is.

When the weather gets cool, chicken and mushrooms are the basis of some of our favorite comforting soups. It doesn't get much better than a steamy bowl of chicken and wild rice soup or creamy chicken and mushroom soup. But if you're trying to break out of your usual soup rut, you'll love shaking things up with our Thai chicken coconut soup or our coconut zoodle soup.
