One Pan Chicken Garlic Mushroom Saute-
An easy, One Pan Chicken Garlic Mushroom Saute that is paleo, low carb and gluten free.
One Pan Chicken Garlic Mushroom Saute is paleo, low carb, very simple to prepare, and so extremely tasty! I am excited that this is such super simple, all in one pan dish to make, and yet it packs so much flavor. Realizing that arrowroot is not low carb in larger amounts, So, in this dish I used only a tiny amount (1/2 tsp for the entire recipe) and this would only add a nominal amount of carbs.
I think I could eat this every day, and I am not even kidding. Only one pan to wash makes this recipe a fast clean up, and a no brainer. I’m so tired after work sometimes, that I need a healthy meal that does not involve much work or any brain power.
As a small child I hated mushrooms, I’m not even sure why, as they don’t have a strong taste and pretty much taste like whatever you cook them in. Which makes them excellent little garlic butter absorbers . The mushrooms in this dish really absorb all that flavor from the garlic and butter, which just makes this chicken extra scrumptious.
I started developing a taste for mushrooms as a teenager, and now I actually quite adore them.

How else can i thicken my sauce….. overlooked that i needed arrowroot whe in the supermarket. Any suggestions would help.
Sometimes you can just boil the sauce and then simmer to reduce it, but it won’t be as thick as with a little arrowroot powder.
Such comfort food! Perfect for the winter months (as wintery as it gets here in California).
Thanks Rachel 🙂

Can you skip the wine? And where do you find arrowroot powder?
Tara, I don’t think it would be quite as good without the cooking wine, and I get arrowroot powder in the spice section at the grocery store, but you could omit the arrowroot, as it just thickens the sauce and has no taste.
This looks delicious! My husband adores mushrooms!
Thank you Sarah 🙂
