Ingredients

4 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1 onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

250 grams mushrooms, sliced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:

Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down,

and cook until the skin is crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for

another 5-7 minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Onions and Mushrooms:

In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes

translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the

mushrooms are tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Make the Sauce:

Add the thyme leaves to the skillet and stir to combine.

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for a few minutes until the liquid reduces

slightly.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream. Stir well to combine and let the sauce

simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine the Chicken and Sauce:

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy mushroom sauce.

Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook in the sauce for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is

cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Serve:

Garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley.

Serve the chicken thighs hot with the creamy mushroom sauce over your favorite side dish, such as

mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
