Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then sear them skin-side down until golden brown, about 7-8 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add mushrooms and cook until soft and browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
- Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
- You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs if you prefer white meat.
