A comforting dish featuring tender chicken thighs cooked in a rich garlic and mushroom cream sauce.
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
- Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until crispy, then flip and cook for 2-3 minutes before setting aside.
