Creamy Mushrooms

These Creamy Mushrooms are made with vegan cream cheese, vegan chicken bites and of course mushrooms. Rich, creamy and everything comes together in under 20 minutes. Great without or any pasta.

I always enjoyed mushroom sauce. It is so easy to make, rich, creamy, and so incredible versatile.

If you try my Creamy Mushroom Pasta, the Mushroom Gravy, or my Marsala Sauce, you know immediately what I am talking about.  

Why these are the most amazing Creamy Mushrooms

Flavors and textures are on point, but what makes these Creamy Mushrooms even better is how easy everything comes together. The result is seriously delicious, impressive but without any work

For creaminess, vegan cream cheese is amazing, a staple in my household that I use often for my Creamy Mac and Cheese, for example.

Fact is, it makes the creamiest texture, without even having to attempt to make a white sauce.

The texture created by mushrooms and vegan chicken bites is great and makes this sauce more filling.

Step by step pictures show you everything and you wouldn’t believe how creamy, rich and satisfying everything comes together in that short amount of time.

What you need for these Creamy Mushrooms recipe

• Mushrooms
• Olive oil
• Vegan chicken
• Vegan cream cheese

 

• Oat milk
• Garlic
• Onions
• Vegan parmesan
• Parsley

How to make Creamy Mushrooms

In a skillet, heat half of the olive oil. When hot, add mushrooms and fry them for 5 minutes until the liquid comes out. Remove the mushrooms from the pan, and clean the pan with a paper towel.

Next add remaining oil, and fry onions, garlic, and vegan chicken for 2 minutes.  Give the vegan cream cheese, plant milk, and parmesan to the pan and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook everything for around 2 minutes more, add the mushrooms back. Just right before serving, garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Freezing and store instructions:

This sauce can be stored in the fridge for around 5 days, so this is handy for meal prep and make ahead meals, or to feed a larger crowd.

Freezing is possible with one exception: add the parsley fresh this will taste better and you won’t get a mushy texture. Give the sauce, preferably cooled down completely, in a freezer bag or container. It will last for 2 months.
