    Tender sautéed chicken thighs smothered in mushrooms, garlic and gruyere. This low carb chicken recipe will have you doing the happy dance!

    Low Carb Mushroom Cheese Smothered Chicken Recipe

    I am not one to reinvent the wheel. I know a good thing when I see it. And when something works, I don’t mess with it. But I might, I just might, repurpose it. And I might, I just might, repurpose it over and over. Most of the time, I don’t tell people I am repurposing it, so they are never the wiser. But I know. I know exactly what I am doing, and I admittedly take a little joy out of figuring out new ways to repurposes an old favourite.

    In this case, I am not sure you can call the favourite “old”. The favourite is pretty new. Or rather, it’s new to me, this way of smothering browned chicken in all sorts of delicious toppings and baking them to perfection. I am sure the process is not new, I am sure many have done this same method in any number of variations. I did it for the first time myself this summer with my low carb Caprese Chicken recipe. And I loved it so much, I followed it quite quickly thereafter with some low carb Easy Mediterranean Chicken. The premise of these recipes is really the same. Take some chicken (I prefer thighs), brown in a pan with butter, top with something tasty, including copious amounts of cheese, and bake until done. Dinner. Is. Served.

    Delicilously low carb - chicken thighs with sautéed mushrooms and melted cheese.

    This time, I branched out from the tomatoes and mozzarella theme, and went with the intensity of sautéed mushrooms and Gruyere. I am pretty sure I don’t even need to tell you how good this was.

      Carolyn, it still says” reheat” instead of Preheat, lists no cheese in the ingredients, and states to broil 2 to 30 (!!!) minutes at the end.

      Definatley a glitch on the Sweet Life site.

      Looks like a great recipe though….with cheese of course!

      Ingredients

      3 tbsp butter, divided
      5 to 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
      Salt and pepper to taste
      2 cloves garlic, minced
      8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
      Instructions

      reheat oven to 350F. In a large sauté pan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken thighs with salt and pepper to taste.
      Place skin-side down in hot pan and cook until nicely browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and place thighs in a single layer in a ceramic or glass baking pan.
      Add remaining butter to pan and let melt, then add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and sauté quickly to coat with butter. Sprinkle with a little additional salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are brown and tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
      Spoon mushrooms over chicken. Sprinkle with cheese and bake 30 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbling and chicken is cooked through. Turn on broiler for 2 to 30 minutes to lightly brown the cheese.

      Mushroom Gruyere Smothered Chicken ~ Looks like an awesome recipe from you, as always. I look forward to making it, as I always do all of your recipes. However, in the publishing of your recipe on their webpage, cheese was inadvertently left out of the list of ingredients?

      And step 1. (of the instructions) starts with a lower-case r; like a prior part of that instruction had been left off? It starts by saying “reheat” … further making it seem like something is missing? (reheat… we haven’t heated anything yet yet to reheat)?

      Carolyn, I do so want to try ‘this recipe…. So, I am not complaining, just wondering what parts of your recipe might have been inadvertently left off by some computer glitch? I am surprised they haven’t caught this after all these years though.

        I think a P was left off. Preheat oven to 350. And 1 1/2 cups cheese worked great for me.

        Weird! Use 1 to 2 cups, depending on how cheesy you want it!
