INGREDIENTS :
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2.2 pounds (1kg) of chicken thighs, boneless
- 1 c (125 grams) heavy cream
- ½ small onion, diced
- Unsalted butter for frying
- 8 ounces (250 grams) of baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
- Green onions for garnishing, chopped
- Ground black pepper
- Salt
DIRECTIONS :
Step 1: Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper.
Step 2: Add the butter to a hot large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic to the skillet once the butter has melted and cook until they begin browning. Next, add the chicken thighs and sear for about 8 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a clean plate once both sides have a crispy crust and are no longer pink in the center. Set aside.
Step 3: Cook the mushrooms in the now-empty skillet for about 5 minutes or until they begin browning and reducing in size. Pour in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook for 5 to 10 minutes more.
Step 4: Return the chicken to the skillet once the mushroom sauce has slightly thickened and cook for additional 2 minutes without flipping.
Step 5: Remove from the heat when done and serve the chicken thighs with mushroom sauce right away garnished with some chopped green onions. Enjoy your favorite side dish.
