PrintOne-Pan Marinated Chicken and Mushrooms is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. The flavourful marinade is quick to mix up and versatile (try it with pork too, and cauliflower, broccoli…).
If you’re looking for ways to add oomph to a meal than a marinade is the way to go. Marinades are so easy to throw together, they add loads of flavour and they keep your food from drying out during cooking.
In this marinated chicken and mushrooms dish the soy-based marinade in this recipe is lightly sweetened with molasses and maple syrup. Molasses is a bit of a secret ingredient in this dish. When you taste it you’ll understand just how well molasses complements to the sharp flavour of soy.
Baking the mushrooms along with the chicken adds extra flavour to the dish, letting all that great mushroom flavour mingle in the pan juices.

Recipe Tips:
- Make a double batch of the marinade so you have it on hand for even faster prep of this recipe.
- No need to marinate the chicken in advance, if you don’t have time. Simply bake it in the marinade.
- You can substitute fresh garlic and onion for the dried called for in the recipe. (1-2 cloves of garlic, minced & 1/2 onion, minced.)

Am I. Missing something f. There are no cooking instructions.
Hi Barbara, All of the missing info has now been added. So sorry.
Bake at 350 F for about 30 minutes until chicken is cooked through. (Baste with remaining marinade half way through baking.
this recipe sounds great…..you have the ingredients, but not the instructions with it……is it possible to get the instructions?
Hi Faye, I guest I was too anxious to share the recipe. The instructions have now been added.
Where’s the recipe? You’ve given the recipe for the marinade, and the quantities of mushrooms and chicken, but then what? Are the mushrooms cooked first, then added? In what size of pan? What temperature of oven, and how long to bake?
Hi Emerald, So sorry. All the missing info has now been added.
What oven temperature? Cannot locate in the recipe.
Thanks
Hi Beverly, The chicken bakes at 350 F
There are no instructions, just ingredients
Hi Sheila, The instructions have now been added. Sorry!
Terrible. It was like drinking soup. Very little flavour. I am not a bad cook so this one I can say was the recipe, not me.
I will re-bake the chicken with honey, soya sauce and a splash of orange juice and brown it up under the broiler.

I would like to make this recipe but you haven’t included details for putting it together or temperature to cook at. Size of dish or pan. I can figure this out but it’s much easier if the details are included. Thanks Maureen
I found the ingredients lust but not the recipe
Is there a video.
Hi Isobelle, So sorry. The instructions have now been added.
Yes, I would like more info on the marinade. Thanks
Hi Georgi, I have updated the instructions for the marinade. Apologies that it was missing.
No cooking instructions or how to put it together.
HI Robyn, Sorry about that. It’s updated now. Enjoy!
There are no directions for completing this recipe, you have left us guessing.
The method has been added to the recipe. So sorry :(
Definitely going to try this one, sounds yummy.
Looks amazing! Will try soon, is there a reason why it’s garlic powder and not fresh?
Just saw the recipe notes about garlic and onion – mea culpa!
This looks yummy, but it would be great if you could you provide the caloric values for these recipes.
Hello Stephanie,
You are right, I’m working on it!
How about nutrition info? Always trying to keep track.
Sounds so GOOD! We will be trying this in the next few days, after we pick up some fresh mushrooms. Do you think boneless, skinless chicken breasts would work just as well?
Hi Dave, If I use boneless, skinless breasts I’d baste them more often during cooking. They’ll be great in this recipe, I’m sure.
Delicious! I used pork and a variety of vegetables, as suggested. Threw bean sprouts in at the end and thickened the sauce up a bit. An easy, excellent dish. Thank you.

Very sorry, but I found the chicken very bland. I marinated the chicken for about 6 hours before cooking.
However, I should add, the mushrooms (and onion I added) were most excellent in the sauce / marinade!

Hello:
Recently our daughter gave me an Air Fryer….LOVE IT!!!! Can or will any of your wonderful recipes be adapted to be cooked in an Air Fryer?
Hi Elayne, I wish I could help but I have never used an air fryer. Sorry.
Oh! Yummy, yummy…….they are so tasty…I love them, especially with the Mushrooms.
They add a different flavour.
A Very enjoyable Dish to Serve……….Thank you.
Hi Bridget, One-pan marinated chicken and mushrooms recipe: How long will the marinade be good for in the mason Jar? Months??
Hi Adele, The marinade would be good for at least a month. That said, I recently finished up some leftover marinade that had been in my fridge for at least a couple of months.
My husband loved, loved it! Made some red rice pilaff and steamed broccoli to go with it! A hit in our household!

Yum! Sounds delicious :) So glad everyone enjoyed.
This is a very tasty meal! Thank you for your great recipes, I make a lot of them.
Thanks MaryLou, I’m so pleased you’re enjoying our recipes.
Very flat. Surprising with all the tasty ingredients in marinade. Perhaps too much olive oil. Also needed to cook the chicken an extra half hour.
Hi Sheila, Wow, an hour to cook boneless skinless chicken thighs. They must have been very large. Did the mushrooms dry out on you with that amount of cooking time?
**
Very good, I didn’t have mushrooms so made without. I also added some hot red pepper flakes to the marinade.
