If you’re after something that feels a bit fancy, but still fits nicely into a midweek dinner, this Creamy Prosecco Chicken might just be your new favourite. It’s one of those recipes that looks like you’ve made loads of effort (great if you’ve got people coming over), but is actually really quick to get prepped and on the table.
Tender chicken breasts are cooked in a creamy Prosecco sauce with soft onions and earthy mushrooms, and honestly… the sauce is the star of the show. You’ll want something on the side to mop it all up! Don’t worry if Prosecco sounds a bit posh for a Tuesday night, it just adds a gentle sweetness and depth to the sauce, without being overpowering at all.
It’s also freezer-friendly, which makes it a great one to batch cook if you like having something special tucked away for busy days. We love serving this with creamy mashed potatoes, but it’s just as lovely with some simple steamed green veggies if you want to keep things lighter.

How many calories are in this Creamy Prosecco Chicken?
There are only 279 calories in one serving of this Creamy Prosecco Chicken, which means it falls into our Everyday Light category. These are all dishes under 400 calories, ideal for when you’re after a lighter bite (just like the category name suggests!), and they fit with diet plans like Weight Watchers if you’re calorie counting.
As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight, then you might want to adjust these slightly. You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.
Step 1
Spray a large frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and fry gently for 5 minutes, until they have softened a little.
Step 2
Add the chicken breasts and mushrooms, and continue to fry for 4 minutes, turning the chicken breasts over halfway through. The chicken breasts should be lightly golden.
Step 3
Crumble in the stock cube and add the Prosecco. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over. Add the cornflour to the cold water, and stir until smooth. Pour into the pan, stirring to combine. Add the thyme, then cover with a lid and simmer for a further 10 minutes — or until the chicken is cooked through, there are no signs of pinkness, and the juices run clear.
Step 4
Remove the frying pan from the heat, and stir in the cream cheese until completely blended. If the sauce is too thin, continue to simmer — uncovered — for a bit longer, until the sauce has reduced and thickened to your liking. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a little water.
Step 5
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Then serve!
