Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds (700g) boneless skinless chicken thighs ((around 6-8 fillets))
1 teaspoon each onion powder and garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon each of dried thyme and rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
8 ounces (250 g) sliced brown mushrooms
4 cloves garlic, (minced (or 1 tablespoon minced garlic))
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
1/2 - 1 teaspoon each of dried thyme and dried rosemary ((adjust to your taste))
1 1/2 cups heavy cream / thickened cream ((evaporated milk or half and half)*)
1/2 cup fresh shredded parmesan cheese

Steps:

Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towel and trim off excess fat. Combine the onion powder, garlic powder, herbs, salt and pepper. Coat the chicken evenly with the combined seasoning.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken thighs in batches until browned on each side and no longer pink in centre (about 8 minutes each side, depending on thickness). Add remaining oil if needed for second batch. Transfer to a plate; set aside and keep warm.
To the same pan or skillet, melt the butter and add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook until soft (about 3 minutes). Add the garlic, parsley, thyme and rosemary; sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Stir in cream, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and continue cooking until sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in the parmesan cheese and allow it to melt through the sauce for a further 2 minutes, while occasionally stirring.
Return chicken to the pan. Taste test and season with salt and pepper to your taste. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
½ onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
½ cup dry white wine
1 ½ cups chicken broth
¼ cup heavy cream
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Steps:

Heat vegetable oil over medium-heat in a large skillet. Season chicken thighs on both sides with thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place thighs, skin-side down, into the hot skillet and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Flip thighs over and brown other side, an additional 8 minutes. Remove thighs from skillet onto a large plate, and set aside. Reduce heat to medium-low.
Add mushrooms to skillet and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in white wine and scrape browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Simmer until wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth and allow mixture to come back to a simmer.
Return chicken thighs to the skillet, and cook, covered, until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Stir in heavy cream and cook until just heated through, about 1 more minute. Adjust salt and pepper and sprinkle with fresh parsley just before serving.

Tips:

For a richer flavor, use a combination of light and dark meat chicken thighs.
To make the sauce extra creamy, use a mixture of heavy cream and cream cheese.
If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth.
For a more intense garlic flavor, use roasted garlic instead of minced garlic.
Serve the chicken thighs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.

Conclusion:

This creamy garlic and mushroom chicken thighs recipe is an easy and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
