Description
One of my favorite one-pan recipes is this country-style boneless chicken thighs in creamy garlic mushroom sauce. It’s cheap and easy to make on a budget, featuring tender chicken, aromatic herbs, earthy mushrooms, and a rich, velvety garlic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 750 g boneless skinless chicken thigh fillets
- 1/2 tsp thyme (dried)
- 1/2 tsp rosemary (dried)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp cracked pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 30 g salted butter
- 4 cloves garlic (roughly chopped)
- 250 g button mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Step: Pat down the chicken thighs with a paper towel to remove moisture.
- Step: Mix the rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Step: Coat the chicken thighs on both sides with the seasoning, pressing it firmly into the meat without rubbing.
- Step: Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat.
- Step: Cook the chicken in two batches of 3 thighs each for 5 to 8 minutes per side until charred, then remove and set aside.
- Step: Add the butter to the same pan, then add the chopped garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
- Step: Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook until browned and slightly shrunk.
- Step: Pour in the chicken stock and keep the heat high for 30 seconds to deglaze the pan, then reduce to medium heat.
- Step: Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese, simmering on low heat until the sauce is smooth and the cheese is melted.
- Step: Return the chicken to the pan and simmer until the thighs are heated through and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
Notes
Important: What sets this recipe apart is charring the chicken over high heat and using roughly chopped garlic for texture. Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). For a thicker sauce, reduce the stock or increase the cream.
