Servings 6 thighs

Ingredients
  

  • 6 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick
  • 1/2 lb. white button mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 6 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
  • Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet on high heat. Place chicken, skin side down, into the pan. Cook until fat renders, about 7 minutes.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven. Cook 5 minutes. Flip chicken over and cook another 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken to a separate plate.
  • Place the skillet back onto the stove over medium heat. Melt the butter in the pan. Add garlic, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook until mushrooms release their liquid, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth. Increase the heat to medium-high, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan.
  • Lower the heat again and pour in the cream. Cook 1-2 minutes, until mixture thickens slightly. Spoon cream sauce over the chicken thighs. Serve warm.
