Keto Chicken with Mushroom Sauce Recipe
One of my favorite meals, before we started eating healthier, was chicken cooked in cream of mushroom soup. Even before we started following a ketogenic diet, I gave up most processed foods like cream soups. Since then, I’ve missed Chicken & Mushroom Gravy even though I hate mushrooms. There is something so delicious about the mushroom gravy that I love, but as I’ve mentioned previously I hate mushrooms. I’ll pick out every single one. I don’t know why they gross me out so much, but I just cannot bite into a mushroom. In fact, my oldest daughter has to chop them up for me because they gross me out. Picky much? Yes, I will fully admit that I am a picky eater. It might be why most all of my recipes are so simple.
Anyway, I looked back at my Keto Green Bean Casserole Recipe for inspiration to make this recipe as I wanted a homemade mushroom gravy. I also wanted to make sure it was simple to make as I know that most don’t have time to spend hours in the kitchen prepping a meal, cooking, and cleaning. With that in mind, this Keto Chicken with Mushroom Sauce Recipe is a one-pan meal for easy clean-up. Simply pair with your favorite veggie or a big leafy green salad for a complete meal.

Awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, Julie.
Are the macros for one piece of chicken breast?
I divided the dish into equal sized servings but the macros will vary as each chicken breasts weighs differently. If you are strict keto you’ll want to weigh your ingredients and calculate your own macros based on the exact ingredients you use.
I am making this dish right now. It smells so good I can hardly wait to try it. Thank you for helping me along my WOE.
Awesome! I hope you loved it. You are so very welcome.
This is amazing, my family has no idea it’s Keto. I also take it to work for lunch the next day.
Wow! THat is great. So glad you enjoyed it.
Hi, I followed your recipe and for some reason I ended up with no sauce left over after I simmstsdz Any tips as to why? I simmered for twenty minutes with the lid on but when I removed there was no trace of the cream except just a watery residue
Hye, Olivia, not sure what happened. I haven’t had that problem.
I have been using almond flour for make no gravy
This dish is absolutely scrumptious!! I used the leftover gravy to thicken a soup I made a few days later. Added SO much flavor!
Awesome~ So glad you loved it!
Don’t have any xanthan gum, what can I use a substitute?
You can omit just boil the sauce down with the lid off a little longer.
If you have picky eaters just purée the veggies before adding them back in. They’ll never know what’s in it 😁. Delicious!
Great tip! Thanks so much!
Freakin delicious!!! I just ate the leftovers for lunch & it was just as good as last night! The only thing I did differently was to salt & pepper the mushrooms,garlic, onion mixture as well as the chicken bf cooking. I also added more mushrooms bc they are one of my guilty pleasures!
Awesome! So glad you liked it!!
Have you ever substituted pork chops in this recipe?
I haven’t but I bet it would taste great!
This looks delicious but what seasonings did you add? Would be helpful, thank you.
All of the ingredients are listed in the recipe.
Yummm!! I did double the mushrooms and bedtime I will salt and pepper the chicken. Everyone loved this recipe. Will definitely make again! Thank you!
That’s awesome! I’m so glad y’all loved it!
