Ingredients

  • 6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs skin-side down for 6–8 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook another 6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add butter and mushrooms. Sauté 4–5 minutes until golden brown.
  • Add garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Simmer 2–3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in heavy cream and Parmesan. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly.
  • Return chicken thighs to skillet, skin-side up. Spoon sauce over top and simmer 10–15 minutes until chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 165°F).
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
