Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add diced mushrooms and minced garlic, sauté for 4-5 minutes until browned and fragrant.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth, scrape up the browned bits, and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5-6 minutes.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and let it cook on low heat for another 10-12 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley or thyme before serving.
