ingredients
For the Chicken
- 8 boneless chicken thighs
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
ingredients
For the Mushroom Sauce
- 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, washed and sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Fresh thyme, for garnish
Method
Step 1
Season the chicken thighs generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Step 2
In a large pan, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken thighs and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Step 3
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the chopped onion to the same pan. Sauté for a few minutes until onions are translucent.
Step 4
Add the sliced baby bella mushrooms and sauté for another 5 minutes until softened. Then add the chopped garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Step 5
Turn the heat up to medium-high and pour in the chicken stock. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let this mixture simmer for a few minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, dried rosemary, and thyme. Simmer on low for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce thickens. You’ll know the sauce is ready when you can drag a spoon across the pan, leaving a clear path.
Step 7
Add the cooked chicken back into the pan, coating it with the mushroom sauce. Garnish with fresh thyme.
Step 8
Serve with your choice of veggies, pasta, or rice, and enjoy!
