01
Brown the Chicken
Start by melting 6 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the butter is melting, season your chicken with salt and pepper. Once the butter is hot, add the chicken and cook it until it’s golden brown on both sides and about halfway cooked through—this usually takes around 4 to 7 minutes per side. When it’s nicely browned, transfer the chicken to a 9x13-inch baking dish and set the skillet aside, keeping those tasty drippings.
02
Saut Mushrooms with Wine
Next, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the mushrooms and sauté them until they’re soft and fragrant. Pour in a quarter cup of wine, give it a stir, and let it simmer on low for about 5 minutes until it reduces. Once done, keep the mushrooms warm along with any juices.
03
Make Creamy Gravy
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Now, go back to that first skillet with the chicken drippings and add the cream of chicken soup and cream of mushroom soup. Stir everything together well so there are no lumps. Slowly pour in the cream, stirring constantly, then add the remaining half cup of wine. Season with rosemary and thyme, and adjust the wine amount if you need to get a nice, thick gravy. Let this mixture simmer over medium heat until it starts bubbling, then fold in the mushroom mixture.
04
Bake Chicken with Sauce
Pour the creamy mushroom sauce over the chicken in the baking dish, cover it, and pop it in the oven for 30 to 45 minutes.
05
Cook Linguine Pasta
About 15 minutes before the chicken’s ready, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine for 8 to 10 minutes or until it’s just tender. Drain the pasta, then serve the baked chicken and sauce over the hot noodles. Enjoy!
