How to Make Chicken Gloria

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup white wine (optional, or use chicken broth)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white button mushrooms work well)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add butter and melt over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms and garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are golden brown.
  5. Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth), scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any flavorful bits. Let the wine cook off for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, and Dijon mustard to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes or until it thickens slightly.
  7. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  8. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken. Simmer for 3-5 minutes to reheat the chicken and meld the flavors.
  9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.

How to Serve Chicken Gloria

Chicken Gloria is best served hot. You can pair it with rice, mashed potatoes, or some steamed vegetables. The creamy mushroom sauce complements these sides beautifully, making it a complete meal.

How to Store Chicken Gloria
