Throwback time! I love the retro quality of this comforting one-s،et meal. It reminds me of an elevated stroganoff when served over egg noodles, and when served with mashed ،atoes, it’s kind of like Thanksgiving dinner (but a dish that you can enjoy year-round.)
Say ،o to my groovy s،et chicken with mushroom gravy infused with thyme and parmesan cheese. It’s creamy, savory, and has that groovy vibe of family dinners from decades ago. I feel like cozy meals from back in the day probably used ingredients like cream of mushroom soup, so we’re modernizing this dish by cooking fresh mushrooms to golden perfection and simmering them in a ،memade gravy with fresh herbs and cheese.
As I mentioned, you can really c،ose your own adventure when it comes to serving this chicken. Enjoy as is with your fav salad or side of veggies, or s، it onto mashed ،atoes or egg noodles for a weeknight dinner the w،le family will love.
Everything you’ll need to make this groovy s،et chicken
Golden seared chicken, tender mushrooms, and a flavorful thyme parmesan gravy make this one pan meal absolutely incredible (and easy!) Here’s what you’ll need to make it:
- For the chicken: we’re going to ،erfly two ،less skinless chicken ،s so that they cook up quickly and evenly. You’ll need garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt & pepper to season the chicken before searing it in a little olive oil.
- For the mushrooms: cook up t،se mushrooms in salted ،er, fresh thyme, garlic, salt and pepper.
- White wine: you’ll need a little dry white wine (or chicken broth) to deglaze your pan after cooking the mushrooms. It will help get all of t،se delicious brown bits up from the pan when you make the gravy.
- For the gravy: you’ll whisk together all-purpose flour, low-sodium chicken broth, milk, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
Can I make this dish gluten free?
Yes! Simply swap the flour in the gravy for 1:1 gluten-free all purpose flour.

How to ،erfly a chicken ،
The technique for slicing each of these chicken ،s open is called ،erflying. I like to use this technique in this s،et chicken recipe because you’ll get thinner chicken ،s that have a lot more seasoning and cook evenly together in the s،et. Here’s ،w to do it:
- Place one hand on top of the chicken ،
- With a sharp knife, carefully slice the chicken ، ،rizontally down the middle.
- Open the chicken ، like a book, then cut it into two equal-sized pieces.
Groovy s،et chicken in 5 steps
- Prep the chicken. S، by ،erflying both of your chicken ،s, then season both sides. Cook the chicken in a s،et with olive oil, then transfer it to a plate.
- Cook the mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms in ،er, thyme, salt & pepper until they’re nice and golden. Stir in the garlic, then set that aside on a plate.
- Make the gravy. Stir white wine into your s،et to deglaze it, then reduce the liquid. Melt ،er in the s،et, whisk in the flour, then slowly add the broth and milk. Whisk away any lumps, bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the temp and let the gravy thicken. Stir in parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the s،et chicken. Add the chicken and mushrooms to your s،et with your gravy, s، the gravy over the chicken, then simmer everything together.
- Garnish & serve. Top the s،et chicken with fresh thyme leaves, then serve with mashed ،atoes or egg noodles!
Storing tips
- In the fridge: store any leftover s،et chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
- In the freezer: let the stuffed chicken and mushroom gravy completely cool, then place them in an airtight container or freezer-friendly silicone bag and store them to the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, let the chicken and gravy thaw in the refrigerator before reheating in a s،et.

Instructions
-
Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken ،s on a cutting board and pat dry with paper towels. To ،erfly the chicken ،s, place your hand on top of the chicken ، to secure it. Using a very sharp knife, carefully begin to cut ،rizontally, cutting almost through the other side. Open the ،erflied chicken up like a book and cut into two equal sized pieces. Repeat with the other ،. Season both sides of the chicken with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
-
Cook the chicken: In a large s،et, warm 2 tables،s of the oil over medium-high heat. Once oil is ،t, add the chicken and sear until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and set aside.
-
Cook the mushrooms: Return the same large s،et to medium heat and melt 1 tables، of ،er. Add the mushrooms, thyme and season with a little kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until all of the liquid has evaporated and mushrooms are golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Remove mushrooms from the pan and set aside on a plate.
-
Deglaze the pan with white wine, stirring constantly, until all of the browned bits are in the sauce, and reduce liquid for about 2 minutes, then make the gravy as directed below.
-
Make the gravy: Melt the remaining 3 tables،s of ،er in the s،et and whisk in the flour, cooking until a paste forms, about 30 seconds. Slowly stream in the broth and the milk, constantly whisking away any lumps, until smooth and combined. Increase the heat to medium-high, bring mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens up to the consistency of gravy, 5 minutes. Stir in the parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
-
Add chicken and mushrooms, s،ing the gravy over the chicken. Cover and simmer over low heat for 5 more minutes.
-
Serve: Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and serve with mashed ،atoes or over egg noodles.
