Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

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.

BROCCOLI STIR-FRY WITH CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS



Broccoli Stir-Fry With Chicken and Mushrooms image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, one pot, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons good-quality vegetable oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
4 scallions, chopped
1 pound broccoli, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces, the stems no more than 1/4-inch thick
8 ounces button mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed and sliced
Salt
1 cup water
8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch chunks or thin slices and blotted dry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add half the oil, swirl it around, and immediately add half the garlic and ginger. Cook for 15 seconds, stirring, then add the broccoli, mushrooms and all but a sprinkling of the scallions. Raise heat to high, and cook, stirring, until mushrooms release their water and broccoli is bright green and beginning to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with salt; add 1 cup water. Stir and cook until almost all liquid evaporates and broccoli is almost tender, another minute or two more, then transfer everything to a plate.
  • Turn heat to medium, add remaining oil, then remaining garlic and ginger. Stir, then add chicken and turn heat to high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken has lost its pink color, three to five minutes.
  • Turn heat to medium. Return broccoli, mushrooms and juices to the pan, and stir. Add soy sauce, sprinkle with more salt and some pepper; add a little more water if mixture is dry. Raise heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced slightly and you've scraped up all the bits of chicken. Taste and adjust seasoning, garnish with remaining scallion and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality soy sauce: A good soy sauce will add a rich, umami flavor to your stir-fry. Look for a soy sauce that is labeled "naturally brewed" or "traditionally fermented".
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When stir-frying, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will cause the vegetables and chicken to steam instead of fry, resulting in a soggy dish. Cook the ingredients in batches if necessary.
  • Use a hot pan: A hot pan is essential for getting a good sear on the chicken and vegetables. Make sure your pan is heated over high heat before adding the ingredients.
  • Stir-fry quickly: Stir-frying is a quick cooking method, so it's important to stir-fry the ingredients quickly. This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Add a cornstarch slurry: If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the stir-fry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix together equal parts cornstarch and water. Add the slurry to the stir-fry sauce and cook until the sauce has thickened.

Conclusion:

This garlic mushroom chicken thigh stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The chicken is juicy and tender, the vegetables are crisp-tender, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve this stir-fry over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
