Equipment

  • large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 pieces skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 0.5 pieces onion, chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream
  • 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat vegetable oil over medium-heat in a large skillet. Season chicken thighs on both sides with thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place thighs, skin-side down, into the hot skillet and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Flip thighs over and brown other side, an additional 8 minutes. Remove thighs from skillet onto a large plate, and set aside. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Add mushrooms to skillet and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in white wine and scrape browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Simmer until wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth and allow mixture to come back to a simmer.
  • Return chicken thighs to the skillet, and cook, covered, until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Stir in heavy cream and cook until just heated through, about 1 more minute. Adjust salt and pepper and sprinkle with fresh parsley just before serving.

Notes

Great served over wild rice.
