Step By Step Instructions

Texas Roadhouse Portobello Mushroom Recipe

First, melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Saute the chopped portobello mushrooms and garlic for about 2-3 minutes, and then add the condensed cream of mushroom soup, water, and seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt). Lastly, add parmesan cheese and cook for one more minute until the cheese melts.

Next, season the chicken on both sides with the seasonings (salt, paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder). Add oil to a pan on medium-high heat, and fry the chicken on both sides for 4-5 minutes until they are golden brown.

Substitutions

One of the best things about a portobello mushroom sauce is that it goes with almost anything. Here are a few ideas if you want to substitute the chicken for something else:

Fish: Fish is a great substitute for chicken; you can grill it the same way or pan fry it on high heat before finishing it in the oven with cheese. Tilapia or bass would be ideal for this.

Beef steak: Beef is a great alternative to grilled chicken; it can be grilled in the same manner as chicken.

Cheese: Cheddar cheese (or even bleu cheese) is a great alternative to Monterey jacks because of its sharp flavor, which complements the mushroom sauce and chicken perfectly.

Variations

Spicy: Add some chili pepper flakes to the chicken seasoning.
Deluxe: Serve with mashed potatoes for a heavenly combination.
