Cheesy Smothered Mushroom Chicken
with Mashed Potatoes & Roasted Green Beans
- Milk
Chicken and melted cheese is always a recipe for success. Chicken and melted cheese plus a rich gravy, however, is the ultimate comfort trifecta. Seared chicken is topped with a umami-packed mushroom gravy and melty Monterey Jack cheese. On the side, there’s sour cream mashed potatoes and crispy-edged roasted carrots for maximum deliciousness (and for catching any extra sauce).

Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into 1-inch-thick pieces. Trim and thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
Trim green beans if necessary. (Save carrots for another use.)
Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until tender, 25-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces (peel first for a smoother texture). Place in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.
Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain and return potatoes to pot. Keep covered off heat until ready to mash.
Swap in green beans for carrots. Roast until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.
While potatoes cook, pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side.
Transfer to a plate.
Heat pot with drained potatoes over low heat; add half the sour cream (you’ll use the rest later) and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Mash potatoes until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and scallion whites; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 2-4 minutes.
Stir in stock concentrate and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
Turn off heat; stir in remaining sour cream and 1 TBSP butter. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat pan with sauce over medium low; add chicken and spoon sauce over top. Evenly top chicken with Monterey Jack. Cover pan until cheese melts, 1-2 minutes.
Divide chicken, carrots, and mashed potatoes between plates. Spoon remaining sauce over chicken and potatoes. Garnish with scallion greens and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
I don't like carrots so I swapped for green beans. I appreciate the option to do so. The portions seemed much smaller than usual. All elements of the meal were smaller, but overall it was delicious. Great recipe!
Took a lot longer than expected, but well worth it. Very tasty. We had green beans AND carrots with it.
We roasted the potatoes with the carrots, added our own spices, chicken recipe was very good, flavorful.
This is great. I always substitute the carrots for some other vegetable. If the substitution isn't available. I don't purchase the meal. Personal preference.
Again, this type of potato as a mash is just too starchy for me.
Not my fav just seemed bland compared with all the other chicken meals
I substituted green beans for the carrots. This recipe was delicious!!
Wish that when you swap vegetables they didn't also send the carrots.
