Tender chicken thighs smothered in a rich, garlicky cream sauce filled with mushrooms.

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 and season them generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down, searing for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip the thighs and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then set aside on a plate.
  3. Using the same skillet, add the diced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, allowing them to brown and release their flavors.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any flavorful bits stuck to the skillet. Let it reduce slightly, then stir in the heavy cream. Simmer until the sauce thickens.
  5. Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, cover, and cook on low heat for 10-12 minutes until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  6. Sprinkle fresh parsley or thyme over the dish for a lovely pop of color. Serve directly from the skillet for a rustic presentation.
