This is one of my all-time favorite recipes. This Cast Iron Creamy Mushroom Chicken is part of our regular dinner rotation. It’s the recipe I turn to when I want something easy, but flavorful.

This cast iron roasted chicken is perfect for a weeknight meal. Since we make this dish quite often, I like to change it up a bit by serving the chicken with different sides. Today, we had the chicken with a small side salad, making it light and quite healthy. Otherwise, it’s great with rice or quinoa (for soaking up that delicious sauce!).

This sauce is super-creamy and flavorful. Since it’s cooked in the same cast iron pan as the seared chicken, it picks up all that extra flavor.

Plus, it’s nice to only dirty up one dish!

Today, I had a few leftover chicken breasts that I decided to add to the chicken drumsticks. If you use different cuts of chicken, just remember that they take different amounts of time to fully cook. For example, bone-in chicken pieces usually take between 30 and 40 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. A boneless chicken breast might only take 15 to 20 minutes at the same temperature. If I cook different cuts together, I just use a pair of tongs to remove the cooked pieces from the oven.

Ingredients
  

  • 8 large chicken drumsticks, skin on
