Creamy Mushroom Chicken Thighs Recipe

Ingredients:

6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

2 tbsp olive oil or butter

8 oz mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup chicken broth

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh)

1 tsp dried oregano

½ tsp smoked paprika

Salt & pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Sear the Chicken:

Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Sear chicken thighs skin-side down for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

2. Cook the Mushrooms & Garlic:

In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Make the Creamy Sauce:

Pour in chicken broth and let it reduce slightly.

Lower heat to medium and add heavy cream, Parmesan, thyme, and oregano. Stir until the sauce thickens slightly.

4. Combine & Simmer:

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up.

Cover and let simmer for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 165°F).

5. Garnish & Serve:

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Serving Ideas:

Serve with roasted cauliflower, sautéed spinach, or a side of zucchini noodles for a full low-carb meal.
