Creamy Garlic and Mushroom Chicken Thighs - A delicious, and relatively easy, way to make chicken thighs! It's great served over wild rice!
Ingredients
- 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 (Optional)
Instructions
Step 1
- 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.
Step 2
- 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.
Step 3
- 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.
