Instructions
1
Sear the Chicken
Start by melting 6 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the butter melts, season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook it until it’s golden brown on both sides and halfway cooked through—this usually takes about 4 to 7 minutes per side. Once browned, transfer the chicken to a 9x13-inch baking dish and set the skillet aside, keeping the drippings.
2
Saut Mushrooms with Wine
In another skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Toss in the mushrooms and sauté them until they’re tender. Pour in 1/4 cup of wine, give it a good stir, and let it simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes so the wine reduces nicely. Keep the mushrooms and their juices warm for later.
3
Make Creamy Sauce
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Now, go back to the skillet with the chicken drippings and stir in both the cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soups. Mix everything well to get rid of any lumps. Slowly pour in the cream while stirring constantly, then add the remaining 1/2 cup of wine. Season the sauce with some rosemary and thyme, and adjust the wine if you need to so the sauce is thick but pourable. Let it simmer over medium heat until it bubbles, then fold in the mushrooms along with their juices.
4
Bake Chicken with Sauce
Pour this creamy mushroom sauce over the chicken in the baking dish. Cover it up and pop it into the oven for about 30 to 45 minutes to finish cooking.
5
Cook and Drain Linguine
About 15 minutes before you’re ready to eat, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine until it’s just tender, usually 8 to 10 minutes, then drain it well. Serve the chicken and all that delicious sauce over the hot pasta and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions
Pair this chicken with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. It also goes well with rice or crusty bread to soak up any extra sauce. Adding a squeeze of lemon can brighten the flavors even more.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the chicken moist. For longer storage, freeze portions and thaw overnight before reheating.
