Print Recipe

A simple recipe for tender chicken thighs cooked in a rich, creamy mushroom sauce, perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
  • 0.5 tsp thyme, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper mix
  • 0.5 tsp sea salt
  • 0.5 tsp cracked pepper
  • 2 T butter
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 8 oz white mushrooms, sliced
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 c White wine
  • 0.5 c half and half
  • fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs. Pat them dry and season them with thyme, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat the oil and butter in a pan over medium-high heat until the butter melts.
  3. Add the chicken thighs to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they start to turn golden brown. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked yet.
  4. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they soften.
  5. Add the wine and garlic. Turn the heat to high and bring the wine to a boil.
  6. Lower the heat and simmer until the wine reduces by about half.
  7. Add the half and half and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Check the chicken internal temperature; it should reach 165°F.
  8. Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use a dry white wine you enjoy, such as Pinot Grigio. Avoid sweet wines like Moscato.
  • Serve this dish over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes to soak up the creamy sauce.
