Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs
  • 8 oz fresh cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Chop mushrooms and mince garlic.
  2. Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then cook until golden brown on both sides (6-8 minutes per side).
  3. Add mushrooms and garlic: Toss in the chopped mushrooms and minced garlic once chicken is nearly cooked through. Sauté until mushrooms are tender (about 5 minutes).
  4. Create the sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for about 3 minutes before adding heavy cream and thyme.
  5. Simmer together: Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes until flavors meld.
  6. Serve: Plate the chicken thighs drizzled with creamy mushroom sauce, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
