Description

This heartwarming dish brings together succulent chicken thighs and a savory mushroom sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, halved
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat oil and butter in a skillet, sear chicken skin side down for 5-7 minutes, then turn and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet.
  3. Add more butter if needed, sauté onion, garlic, carrots, and mushrooms until tender, about 5-6 minutes.
  4. Stir in tomato paste, pour in white wine, and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add broth, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Return chicken to skillet, cover or transfer to a baking dish, and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  6. Stir in heavy cream, return to oven for 5 minutes, and garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

Make sure not to overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken to achieve a perfect sear.
