Description

A delightful dish featuring succulent chicken thighs in a creamy garlic mushroom sauce, perfect for any occasion.


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
  • Additional salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the chicken: Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and place the chicken thighs skin-side down. Sear for 5-7 minutes, then flip and cook briefly for 2-3 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the aromatics: In the same skillet, add diced mushrooms and minced garlic, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until brown and fragrant.
  4. Create the sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up browned bits, then stir in heavy cream and let simmer until thickened.
  5. Finish cooking the chicken: Nestle chicken into the sauce, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving directly from the skillet.

Notes

To make ahead, prepare the mushroom sauce a day before. You can also use an air fryer or oven to cook the chicken.
