Instructions
Here’s how to create your delicious Garlic Mushroom Chicken Thighs in just a few simple steps:
- Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat Oil in a Pan: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Sear Chicken Thighs: Add the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for another 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same pan, add the butter, followed by the diced onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add in the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add Mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Deglaze and Add Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. This adds depth to your dish. Add the thyme and oregano.
- Combine Chicken with Vegetables: Return the chicken thighs to the pan, skin-side up. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
