How in the world is it the end of August already? Although I’m not ready for fall just yet, I am ready for cozy sweaters and hot meals!

Speaking of hot meals, this recipe is probably one of the easiest, quickest, and most delicious hot meals on The Oregon Dietitian right now. It’s only going to take you about 30 minutes to make this seriously amazing chicken with mushroom sauce!

When I’ve seen other mushroom sauce chicken recipes, I’ve seen a lot of brown meals. I seriously HATE brown meals with a passion. I’m all about eating the rainbow, so I added in a carton of cherry tomatoes and BOOM. Not only do the cherry tomatoes add some beautiful color to this recipe, they also add a little sweetness and some acidity.

Using those summer cherry tomatoes, some fresh thyme and red wine, this mushroom sauce chicken is a great fusion of both summer and fall flavors!

    Healthy Mushroom Sauce Chicken

    This mushroom sauce chicken recipe uses chicken breasts, which are leaner than thighs. It also calls for avocado oil, which I’ve been using a lot lately. It’s much more mild than olive oil, can be heated to a higher temperature, and honestly, it’s just as healthy.

    At first, I was going to use half n half in this recipe, but I had an open jar of full fat coconut milk so I used that instead. I couldn’t taste the difference, and it still made the sauce rich and creamy!

    Of course, this recipe has vegetables, and is made with whole, natural ingredients. One thing I just love about this recipe is the fresh tomatoes and mushrooms together. They make such a delicious combination, and definitely make this recipe healthier.

    Budget Friendly

    This recipe works out to be about $8.10 to make, or $2.02 per serving.

    You could make this even cheaper by using half n half instead of coconut milk. You could also eliminate the red wine and substitute in more chicken broth. Either of those substitutions may change the flavor slightly, but won’t really affect it much!

    This one pan mushroom sauce chicken cooks absolutely PERFECTLY in my Staub fry pan. Not only are Staub products absolutely beautiful, they are sturdy and enamel coated. This makes them so much easier to care for than traditional cast iron skillets. Check out the beautiful Staub fry pan I used for my photos here.

        That sounds awful! I’m so sorry that happened and would love to help figure out what happened. What kind of coconut milk did you use?
