Crusted Chicken Breast with Mushrooms
This chicken mushroom recipe ticks so many boxes! First of all, it contains a handful of ingredients so it’s quick and absolutely fuss free. I used a super easy method to make this recipe. Simply blitz the mushrooms until crumbly (see photo below), combine with the rest of the topping ingredients and spread the mixture over the chicken pieces. Then pop in the oven for 30 minutes. And that’s all there is to it! Then simply tuck in and enjoy.
Here is a photo of the mushrooms after they’ve been blended for a few seconds.↓
(Be careful not to puree the mushrooms, they shouldn’t be mushy)
Healthy Mushroom Chicken Recipe
For me an ideal family meal should not only be easy to make and delicious but also healthy. This recipe is!
I used only 2 tablespoons of butter in this recipe. Apart from the chicken breast (very low in fat) the recipe also contains a bit of breadcrumbs, some seasoning and lots and lots of mushrooms. So it’s lean and full of goodness.
Despite the low fat content in this baked chicken with mushrooms the meat is juicy and tender and absolutely delicious! The mushroom topping is light and fluffy, and the whole thing has a melt-in-your-mouth quality.
You might also enjoy this Cauliflower Crusted Chicken recipe I made a while ago. It uses a similar method, is equally easy to make and just as delicious!

- 3 large chicken breasts, cut in half lengthways, skinless

- 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1/3 tsp onion granules

Chop the mushrooms roughly, then place in a blender and blitz for a few seconds to obtain a crumbly mixture (do not puree the mixture, it shouldn't be mushy). Do this in batches if you have a small blender.

Combine the mushroom mixture with the rest of the ingredients (don't forget to season to taste). Stir thoroughly and spread the mixture over the chicken pieces. Bake in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes.

What a great way to highlight the mushroom flavor. I bet this topping would also serve as a perfect stuffing as well! Mushroom and onions are one of my favorite combinations. Thank you for sharing at FiestaFriday!
