A delightful chicken thigh recipe featuring a savory herb-infused mushroom sauce, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Preheat your oven to 175°F (80°C).
Preheating the oven ensures the chicken stays warm without overcooking.
Trim any excess skin and fat from the chicken thighs. Make a small slit on either side of the bone to help them cook evenly.
Making slits in the chicken helps it cook faster and more evenly.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
Seasoning generously enhances the flavor of the chicken.
Heat a non-stick skillet over high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook until the skin is golden and crispy, about 5 minutes.
Starting with high heat ensures a crispy skin.
Reduce the heat to medium, cover the skillet, and cook for an additional 15 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes.
Covering the skillet helps the chicken cook through evenly.
Transfer the chicken to an oven-safe platter and keep warm in the preheated oven.
Keeping the chicken warm in the oven ensures it stays juicy.
Remove excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Add the onions, garlic, and mushrooms, and sauté for 3 minutes.
Sautéing the vegetables in the chicken drippings adds depth to the sauce.
Pour in the white wine and cook over high heat for 2 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly.
Reducing the wine intensifies its flavor in the sauce.
Divide the mushroom mixture among serving plates, place a chicken thigh on top, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Garnishing with fresh herbs adds a burst of color and flavor.
