  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Season chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the sliced mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms release moisture and begin to brown.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add chicken broth and simmer briefly, scraping up browned bits from the pan.
  6. Pour in the heavy cream and add dried thyme. Stir until sauce is smooth.
  7. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and sauce thickens.
  8. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add spinach at the end for extra nutrients and color.
  • Use a splash of white cooking wine for deeper flavor before adding cream.
  • Substitute chicken breasts, adjusting cook time to prevent dryness.
