These Creamy Chicken Bites with Mushrooms and Potatoes are the perfect all-in-one dish for a rich and satisfying dinner.

The chicken remains exceptionally tender, enveloped in a velvety sauce that enhances the intense flavor of the mushrooms, while the potatoes absorb all the seasoning, making every bite irresistible.

The tenderness of the chicken is enhanced by a hint of white wine, which gives a round and enveloping flavor. The potatoes and mushrooms bind in a velvety and fragrant sauce thanks to the classic combination of garlic and freshly chopped parsley. An irresistible, flavorful one-pot dish that is quick to prepare!”

An extra tip: this recipe is so versatile that you can replace the chicken with turkey or pork loin cut into cubes, still achieving a creamy and irresistible result!

I used champignons, but you can opt for any type of mushroom (porcini, pleurotus, or mixed) to give your personal touch.

Ingredients

Creamy Chicken Bites with Mushrooms and Potatoes

  • 1.3 lbs chicken breast (Cut into regular cubes. Or turkey etc.)
  • 14 oz mushrooms (Or mixed mushrooms, Porcini, Pleurotus, etc.)
  • potatoes (About 2/3 medium potatoes)
  • dry white wine (For deglazing)
  • as needed flour (To coat the chicken.)
  • 2 cloves garlic (To sauté the mushrooms/potatoes and chicken.)
  • as needed chopped parsley (Chopped, to add at the end)
  • as needed extra virgin olive oil (High quality, for sautéing)
  • salt

  • as needed vegetable broth (or hot water)

Tools

  • Pan

Steps

Creamy Chicken Bites with Mushrooms and Potatoes

  • First, peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges (or rough cubes)

    For a perfect result, the potatoes should be blanched in salted water for about 5 minutes, just enough to slightly soften them inside.

    After draining them, quickly dry the potatoes with a cloth. Moisture is the enemy of browning!

  • Once drained, they are well sautéed in a pan with good Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a garlic clove until creating a delicious golden crust (only after removing them, we add the mushrooms to cook them).

    Brown the potatoes over high heat without overlapping them too much in the pan, if necessary, do it in two batches. This ensures an even browning.

    How to Clean, Store, and Cook Mushrooms Properly
  • In the same pan, to not lose even a bit of flavor, we sear the chicken bites.

    “Very important, the chicken bites should be first coated in flour and then, very important, you need to carefully remove the excess.”

  • We deglaze them with white wine and let it evaporate, then add a little hot vegetable broth: this step is essential to create that dense and irresistible cream that gives the dish its title.


    Finally, potatoes and mushrooms are reintroduced to the pan, where they absorb the last flavors of the sauce.

    The dish is completed with a generous handful of freshly chopped parsley.

    Serve immediately, each bite is a true delight!

  • Bon appétit…….

Tips

Don’t over-boil: The 5 minutes of blanching are crucial. If they cook too much in water, they won’t form a perfect crust in the pan and might fall apart.

The flour coating should be light! Removing excess flour is the secret to a smooth, lump-free sauce.

Add vegetable broth always hot. Using cold broth can “curdle” the flour or lower the temperature too much, compromising the creaminess.

If you don’t like finding garlic in your dish, use whole crushed cloves in the oil and remove them before adding the chicken. If you love a strong flavor, mince it finely and leave it.

It keeps in the fridge for 1/2 days.
