One Pot Creamy Parmesan Chicken with Mushroom Rice will be one of the best things you will ever eat! All you need is one pot to create an amazingly creamy and delicious meal that is ready in under 30 minutes!
HOLY YUM!! Brace yourselves for all future recipes having creamy parmesan rice. 😉 This meal has our family obsessed. Like I am talking every single person in the family licked their plate clean. The baby, the toddler, the picky eater, everyone couldn’t get enough of this dish.
Dare I say this is the best one pot meal that we have ever had??
We also love this One Pot Chicken Florentine, but I think that the creamy parmesan rice is what made us fall in love. This dish couldn’t be easier to make. You brown the chicken, dump the rice, stir in some parmesan cheese and heavy cream, and voila! Dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes.
How do you make Creamy Parmesan Chicken with Mushroom Rice?
You start by adding oil to a medium skillet or pot add in seasonings and brown your chicken pieces. As soon as they are brown, you add the rice, mushrooms, and chicken broth. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until liquid has absorbed and then stir in your heavy cream and parmesan cheese.
What can I serve as a side dish?
Since this dish already includes rice and mushrooms, a simple side salad and bread make the perfect addition.
You guys have got to put this one on the menu this week! I promise the entire family is going to go crazy for it. And the best part is that it is all made in one dish so little clean up is required on your end. It is a win-win situation for everyone and I know you will love it as much as we did!

One Pot Creamy Parmesan Chicken with Mushroom Rice
Ingredients
- 1 pound diced boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 1 cup uncooked long grain rice
- 2 ½ cups chicken broth
- 6 ounces sliced mushrooms about 1 cup

Add 1 pound diced boneless skinless chicken breast, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, and a pinch or two of salt and ground black pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink and reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit internally.

Great concept and I’d really like it but we followed the directions as shown and holy moly! Way too much Italian seasoning! Are you sure 1 tablespoon not 1 teaspoon?
Will try again with 1 teaspoon.
Not a strong flavor, was ridiculously runny. Not my favorite.
Hi Rachel, I am so sorry your meal didn’t turn out as expected. That can be super frustrating when you spend time and money on something and you don’t like it. I haven’t had a problem with mine being runny, can you explain more of what happened?
So easy and delicious. I didn’t have heavy cream so I subbed with cream cheese and it was perfect. I also added some fresh spinach at the last few minutes of cooking. Will definitely make again.
These receipes are so easy n delicious to follow….absolutely yummie….
Thank you Olivia! I really appreciate you taking time to come back and comment!
This was so easy and good! Can’t wait for the leftovers.
Just made this no changes sooooo good thank you 😊
Of course! Glad you liked it!
This was absolutely delicious and very easy to make! I used Better than Bouillon chicken base, white mushrooms and 10% cream and it turned out really well. This will be a regular dish in our household. would be nice served with a side salad or steamed asparagus to lighten it up.
Is there a way to omit the heavy cream to make it lower in fat?
Make chicken and rice with mushrooms.
