Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and paprika. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs to the pan. Sear for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and mushrooms have released their moisture. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.

      Make the Gravy: Create a flavorful base by pouring in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine, scraping any bits off the bottom of the pan. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

        Add Cream and Thyme: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and dried thyme. Allow the gravy to simmer gently for an additional 5 minutes, thickening slightly. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed.

          Combine and Serve: Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Cover and let simmer together for 5 more minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.

            Garnish and Enjoy: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish before serving. Pair it with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious gravy.
