Juicy, golden-brown chicken thighs cooked in a rich garlicky mushroom butter sauce with fresh thyme and parsley. Perfect for a quick, flavorful weeknight dinner.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 5 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, diced
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper. Dredge in 4 tablespoons of flour until coated.
  2. Heat canola oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in batches until golden and cooked through, 4–5 minutes per side. Set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add garlic, shallot, and mushrooms; cook until mushrooms are tender and browned, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Whisk in remaining 1 ½ tablespoons flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  5. Gradually whisk in chicken stock and thyme. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
  6. Stir in parsley, adjust seasoning, and return chicken to the skillet. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a cast iron skillet for best browning.
  • Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
