Ingrédients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
For the Sauce
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and browned. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and thyme. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
