Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the chicken thighs, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on both sides.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add mushrooms and garlic, cooking until the mushrooms are tender.
Cooking
  1. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, then stir in the heavy cream.
  2. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.
  3. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Serve hot, pairing with rice, pasta, or a fresh green salad. A warm crusty bread is great for soaking up the sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Marinate chicken for more flavor, add spinach or green beans for extra veggies, or use different mushrooms for varied flavor. Low-fat cream can be substituted but may not be as rich. Freeze leftovers for up to 2 months.
