How to Make Herb Roasted Chicken in Creamy White Sauce with Mushroom and Potatoes

Follow these steps and dinner will basically make itself (well… almost).

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Giving it time to heat up ensures even cooking and that perfectly crispy chicken skin we all dream about.

2. Season the Chicken

Sprinkle salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme generously over the chicken thighs. Make sure to coat all sides. This gives you that herb-roasted flavor that pairs beautifully with the creamy mushroom sauce.

3. Sear the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down. Let them sizzle until golden and crisp—about 5–7 minutes.
Flip and cook for another 5 minutes.

Remove and set aside. Your kitchen should already smell heavenly.

4. Sauté the Vegetables

Add garlic and mushrooms to the same skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant. If you’re already tempted to grab a spoon, you’re not alone.

5. Add the Potatoes

Toss in the baby potatoes and stir them around to coat them in all those pan drippings and garlic flavor.

6. Build the Sauce

Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring gently to combine. You’ll start to see the sauce thicken as it heats—like a little preview of the deliciousness to come.

7. Bring Back the Chicken

Nestle those beautifully seared chicken thighs right back into the skillet, resting them on top of the potatoes and mushrooms.

8. Bake to Perfection

Transfer the skillet to the oven.
Bake 35–40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are fork-tender.

9. Garnish & Serve

Remove from the oven. Let everything rest for a few minutes (hardest part, I know).
Top with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

And there you have it—a warm, comforting dish that tastes like it came from a restaurant but was easy enough for a Tuesday night.

Tips for Making the Creamiest, Dreamiest Chicken Dish

Here are a few tricks I swear by:

• Use bone-in chicken thighs for the richest flavor and juiciest texture.
• If your sauce looks a little thin, don’t panic—creamy sauces thicken as they cool.
• For extra depth, sauté the mushrooms until they caramelize slightly.
• Feeling fancy? Add a splash of white wine before the cream. No one will complain.
• If your potatoes are bigger, just chop them smaller so they cook evenly.

Cooking doesn’t have to feel intimidating—it should feel fun, flexible, and delicious. And if your sauce ends up a bit lumpy? Congratulations, you’re officially cooking like a real human. It’s all part of the magic.
