    Ingredients and Grocery Tips

    This recipe has a two-step process to infuse the most authentic flavors that taste like Texas Roadhouse restaurant.

    Marinade Ingredients

    The secret to this yummy copycat recipe is to marinate your chicken before you put it in the crockpot. Don't skip this step. Marinating with herbs adds flavor and tenderizes the chicken. This easy recipe for the marinade is also great for grilling chicken.

    red wine vinegar, olive oil, dill, garlic powder, rosemary, oregano, basil and raw chicken breast on ziplock bag
    Marinade ingredients for chicken
    • Dried herbs: Dill, parsley, basil, oregano, rosemary. Make sure to use dried herbs in the marinade, not fresh green ones, for this recipe.
    • Seasonings: Garlic powder, salt, black pepper, red wine vinegar, and olive oil.

    Portobello Mushroom Sauce and Chicken Ingredients

    chicken broth, spices, parmesan, mushrooms pepper jack cheese, marinated chicken
    Ingredients to make Slow Cooker Portobello Mushroom Chicken Recipe
    • Chicken: The roadhouse uses boneless white meat chicken breast. If the breast is large, I suggest slicing them in half. Try and make all the chicken breasts the same size for even cooking in the crock pot.
    • Sauce: Canned cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth.
    • Seasoning: Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and white sugar
    • Mushrooms: Portobello mushrooms sliced thin. Brush any dirt off with a paper towel before slicing. If the mushroom has a woody stem, trim it and discard it. Then put the mushroom on your cutting board, cutting the mushrooms into 1 cm wide slices.

    Thickening The Sauce

    • Cornstarch 
    • Milk

    Toppings

    • Fresh chopped parsley: Wash and trim with kitchen scissors.
    • Fresh parmesan cheese: Grate the cheese just before serving.
    • Pepper jack cheese: Thin slices

    How to Make Portobello Mushroom Chicken

    Marinate Chicken

    Plastic bag in a bowl to make it easy to place marinade ingredients in the bag
    1. Place a gallon size plastic ziplock bag into a small mixing, gently pulling the sides over the edge of the bowl.
    2. Pour all of the marinade ingredients into the plastic bag. Next, place the chicken breast into the bag.
    3. Seal the plastic bag. Using your hands, gently massage the marinade around the chicken. Place it into the refrigerator for 2 hours.

    Slow Cooker Instructions

    1. Mix the can of condensed soup, broth, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix with a whisk until creamy and smooth.

    3. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it into the slow cooker.

    4. Pour the mushroom sauce over the chicken, spreading it out to cover the bottom of the crockpot in a single layer. Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on high for 2 hours and 30 minutes.

    5. After the cooking time is up, place the ⅓ cup of milk and two tablespoons of cornstarch in a small jar with a lid. Screw the lid on tightly and shake until the cornstarch is blended into the milk. 

    Tip: My favorite shaker is the OXO Good Grips Salad Dressing Shaker. I use it for making a dressing, as a measuring cup, and mixing sauces. The pour spout is really easy to keep things neat in the kitchen.

    6. Remove the crockpot lid and pour the mixture into the crockpot. Stir into the sauce gently without disturbing the chicken. Place the lid back on and cook for 30 more minutes. This allows the sauce to thicken up from the milk mixture.

    7. After 30 minutes, remove the lid and carefully remove the chick breasts using a large spatula. Place it on a serving tray or individual dinner plates. The goal is to keep the chicken breast whole for each serving. 

    8. Sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese over the chicken. Then lay a piece of pepper jack cheese on each hot chicken breast while it's still hot so the cheese melts.

    9. Next, spoon the portobello mushroom sauce over the chicken topped with cheese. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top and serve.

    • Creamy Thick Mashed Potatoes: This recipe has no daily, yet they are super creamy, nobody will know.

    Expert Tips

    Cooking Options

    • Grill: You can use grilled chicken and just cook the mushroom sauce in the crock pot if you prefer.  
    • Oven: If you would rather use your oven for baking this recipe, that is perfectly fine. Follow the directions, except cook the chicken in a covered casserol dish or cast-iron skillet at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Then stir in thinking sauce, cover, and bake 15 more minutes before serving.

    Ingredient Variations

    • Chicken: You can use chicken tender strips or boneless chicken thighs.
    • Mushrooms: You can use your favorite variety of mushrooms for this recipe
    • Cheese: Top with cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, American cheese, or bleu cheese.

    Serve Over

    • Potato skins
    • Steak fries
    • Mashed potatoes
    • Baked potatoes
    • Rice

    Topping and Mix-in Ideas

    • Sauteed onions: Sweet onions or red onions would be great
    • Sour Cream: Mix in 1/2 cup of sour cream to the sauce just before serving

    How to Store Leftovers

    Leftover Texas Roadhouse Mushroom Chicken can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days in your refrigerator. It is best not to freeze the leftovers, the sauce would be watery when thawed, most likely.

    Best Way To Reheat

    •  Oven: To reheat, place the chicken in a baking dish. If it seems thick stir in a few tablespoons of milk first. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it so it does not dry out.
    • Microwave: Place leftover chicken and mushroom sauce in a microwave-safe dish. If the sauce seems too thick, stir in a few tablespoons of milk before heating. Heat according to your microwave's instructions for leftovers. Total time will depend on the strength of your microwave.
