Description

A delightful blend of juicy chicken thighs and savory mushrooms bathed in a rich garlic cream sauce, perfect for cozy dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 oz fresh cremini or button mushrooms, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or thyme, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • Additional salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry using paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove and set aside.
  3. Add the diced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet, sauté for 4-5 minutes until browned and fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits, and allow to reduce slightly. Stir in the heavy cream and let simmer until thickened.
  5. Nestle the chicken thighs back into the sauce and cook for 10-12 minutes on low heat until fully cooked and tender.
  6. Serve with freshly chopped parsley or thyme for garnish.

Notes

For crispy skin, ensure the chicken is dried thoroughly before seasoning. Taste and adjust sauce seasoning before serving.
