Ingredients needed to make this recipe
This is a short introduction. The ingredient list is also brief. It includes essential items that you may already have in your pantry. Please read the recipe for complete instructions.
Flour – to dredge the chicken pieces
Salt and black pepper – the seasoning that you will need
Olive oil – used to cook your chicken with
Skinless chicken breasts and skinless chicken thighs – we love a mix, but you can use all breasts or all thighs if you wish
Unsalted butter – always use unsalted butter. You want to have control of the seasoning, and salted butter will not only add too much salt to your dish but change its flavor.
Garlic cloves – the star of this dish. Ensure that they are all sliced to the same thickness for better cooking.
Mushrooms – I used white cap mushrooms. Baby Bella will work beautifully too.
Chili pepper flakes – give it a kick to your chicken. Add more if you can handle it.
Sodium-free stock – helps with cooking the chicken and keeping it tender and savory.
White wine – adds a layer of flavor and enhances the garlic. The perfect companion to the mushrooms and chicken.
Bread crumbs – they are used to thicken the sauce as they absorb the juices. If you have a day-old crusty bread, you can toast it and grate it if you do not have any.
Lemon – the last step to tie all the flavors together.
Italian fresh parsley – the natural oils of the fresh parsley give it another savory layer of flavor to your garlic chicken.

Step-by-step on how to make this delicious chicken recipe
With all my recipes, please assemble all the ingredients before starting cooking and baking.
- Add the flour, salt, and black pepper to a plastic bag and mix well. Add each piece of chicken one at a time and shake well to coat all over. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, add the olive oil and the unsalted butter. Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add your chicken pieces and cook until golden brown.
- Turn the chicken, add the garlic slices, mushrooms, chile flakes, white wine, and the chicken stock. Cook for about eight to ten minutes or until cooked thru. Every stove is different; therefore, the timing is only a guide.
- Add the bread crumbs and lemon juice and remove the pan from the heat.
- Sprinkle the chopped parsley over it during serving time with the juices.
Pro Tips
- When cooking with wine, always pour it in the middle of your skillet, and if you can lower the heat, I highly recommend it.
- The timing of my recipe is just a guideline. I base the timing on cooking over gas. Altitude has plays into the timing. Adjust accordingly.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken as it will get too tough.

Variations and Substitutions
- I often substitute the chili pepper flakes with fresh ginger. I love the flavor that it gives to the wine and chicken stock.
- Add 1/3 cup of heavy cream to your tender chicken toward the end of cooking to make this dish creamier.
- Serve with lemon wedges to add more acidity to your dish.
