One Pan Mushroom Chicken (keto + low carb). Original recipe adapted with source quantities and workflow.
Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.
The listed pan and basket capacity, cook times, and thermometer endpoint are for four servings.
Ingredients are scaled; keep food thickness, spacing, settings and safe endpoints fixed. Timings assume the four-serving batch and specified shortcuts. More food can require additional batches.
These recipes include household adaptations and recipes adapted from the linked publishers. The adaptations have not been kitchen-tested. Nutrition provenance and source limitations are listed with each recipe; missing nutrition stays unreported.

Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breastspounded to an even thickness
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- to taste salt and pepperto taste · Source does not state an amount; measure to taste or as needed.
- 1 tbsp butter

- 2 slice Swiss cheesehalved
Before you start
- Lidded skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Instant-read thermometer
Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.
Cook
- Sear
Coat chicken with Italian seasoning and salt and pepper. Melt the first butter portion in a 12-inch skillet over medium. Sear chicken 3–4 minutes on each face, then reserve it; it will finish cooking later.
- Mushrooms
Use half the divided butter portion to cook garlic and mushrooms with wine or broth. Simmer until nearly all the liquid evaporates.
- Finish
Stir in the rest of the divided butter and the cream. Return chicken and place halved Swiss slices over it. Cover and simmer for 6–8 minutes until the chicken is cooked.
Where your attention goes
Stages can overlap. Do not add every row as separate elapsed time. Safe endpoints and actual appliance behavior override the estimate.
Why this works
Nutrition per serving
Calories: 278 kcal; protein: 27.8 g; total carbs: 2.9 g; fiber: 0.6 g; net carbs: 2.3 g
Publisher estimate per original portion; proportional ingredient scaling preserves that portion.
Listed allergens: milk. Check purchased labels and cross-contact.
First-cook checks
- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.
- Adapted from Annie Holmes. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.
- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.
Leftovers
Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
