Texas Roadhouse Portobello Chicken Recipe Ingredients
Texas Roadhouse is known for steak & ribs – but their chicken is yum too! This recipe is super simple to make and the seasonings are classic seasonings every pantry has! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Chicken
- Boneless Chicken breasts
- The chicken breasts I purchased were nearly 1 lb each. I sliced each chicken breast in half and then covered with cling wrap and pounded the chicken pieces into an even thickness. This is a great way to make 2 chicken breasts feed four people!
- Seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper
- Boneless Chicken breasts
- Portobello Mushroom Sauce
- Olive oil
- Chopped Portobello Mushrooms – lightly brush off any dirt and slice mushrooms
- Seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, black pepper
- Unsalted butter
- All purpose flour
- Vegetable stock
- Soy sauce
- Toppings
- Monterey Jack cheese – I could find slices so I used a block and cut it into slices
- Parmesan cheese
Recipe Variations
Sometimes we like to change it up a little – here are some ideas for changing it up:
- Veggies – Don’t have portobello mushrooms? Switch to button or baby bella! Or add sauteed onions to the gravy.
- Cheese – You could change to Swiss or Cheddar cheese or skip the cheese all together.
- Seafood or Steak – Swap out the protein for a steak or even a fish like tilapia
- Potatoes – Make some mashed potatoes or a baked potato and double the gravy!
How to Make Texas Roadhouse Mushroom Chicken
I love how EASY and FAST this recipe is! Make the gravy while the chicken is cooking and you’re done. Let’s get started:
- Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towel
- Mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt & pepper. Season chicken on both sides with the mix.
- Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 160º F whichever style of cooking you like:
- Recommended method: Air Fryer – Air fry at 360º for 10-14 min depending on size and thickness of chicken breast.
- Secondary method: Skillet – over medium high heat, add 2 tbsp olive oil to nonstick skillet. Add chicken and cook for 4-5 min on each side
- Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 160º F whichever style of cooking you like:
- While chicken is cooking, in a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add mushroom to pan and saute for 4-5 minutes.
- Add thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper to pan with mushrooms and stir to coat.
- Reduce to medium heat and add butter. Once melted sprinkle flour over the mushrooms. Stir for one minute.
- Turn oven to preheat Broil-Low. Add vegetable stock and soy sauce to skillet. Scrape the bottom and stir. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a soft boil to thicken for 3 minutes. Give the gravy a taste and add salt and pepper if you feel like it needs it.
- Remove chicken from cooking method. Line a cookie sheet or baking tray with a sheet of parchment (or aluminum foil) and lay each piece of chicken on sheet. Add one slice of monterey jack cheese to each chicken breast and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Broil on low until cheese melts – about 2-3 minutes. (Watch closely)
- Remove chicken from oven and plate. Spoon mushrooms and gravy over chicken and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Tips, Tricks & FAQs
Do you have to clean the gills out of a portobello mushroom?
Nope. I never do! Some folks do but I like to keep them in the portobello mushrooms. That said – you should discard the stems.
How do you store and reheat leftover portobello mushroom chicken?
Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can freeze up to one month. Reheat in the microwave for 2 minutes.

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
I made this dish with my partner and partnered it with fresh green beans and garlic knots. It’s now in our rotation of meals!
Love that!!!!
I tried this recipe and wow, it’s a game-changer! 🌟 The steps were so easy to follow, and the result was just as juicy and flavorful as described. Totally making this a regular at my house too!
All good except the last line of recipe. Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Fresh parsley is nowhere in ingredient list. Ugh!
i don’t always list a garnish – it’s optional – use it – don’t – not going to make or break the dish
My husband loved this. I forgot the soy sauce. I made everything in the skillet. Added the cheeses at the end to melt with the steam. Will make this again with a little less thyme.
