Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 175F.

  2. Trim chicken of any visible fat. Make a 1/2 " slit into chicken thigh meat on either side of the chicken

  3. Season the 4 chicken thighs on both sides -with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.

  4. Place chicken, skin side down, on a non-stick skillet or cast iron with a lid, on high heat.

  5. As soon as the chicken starts to sizzle, cover and reduce the heat down to medium - move the thighs around to make sure they aren't sticking to the skillet. Let it cook for about 16-18 minutes.

  6. Prep ingredients – chop onions, chop mushrooms and mince garlic, thyme.

  7. Make sure you check the chicken after 10 minutes. If it browning too fast reduce heat even further, until chicken is cooked. Transfer the thighs to a warm oven.

This was absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful recipe -- actually all of your recipes that I've tried so far have been a treat!

I did not have evaporated milk, so I had to let the sauce cook down a little longer. It was absolutely delicious. I'm looking forward to trying it with the evaporated milk next time.

Thank you for the lovely recipe, the flavors are satisfying yet subtle; pure comfort food! I will be making this on a regular basis.

Made small changes - Added 2 tsp of cornstarch to thicken the mushroom sauce, then a dash of worcestershire in the end to brighten the flavor a bit.

Thank you for posting this recipe. I made it last night, and it was one of the best chicken dinners that I have had in a long while. It was easy to make too.

T ★ 5.0/5

This is AMAZING! Made it for my family who was in town to visit and it was all gone - even after doubling the recipe. My husband destroys it every time. It's so easy which is a MUST for me in the kitchen. Thank you Imma please keep the delicious yet simplistic recipes coming....

Joe Wallace ★ 4.0/5

Made this tonight...delicioso! Went with what I had in the pantry, so rosemary rather than thyme, and sour cream rather than evaporated milk...it all worked!
