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
