Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Shallots, finely diced
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 250 grams Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Riesling wine
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 pieces Fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Sear the chicken thighs, skin side down, for about 5-7 minutes or until the skin is golden and crisp. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 4
Melt the butter in the same pan, then add the shallots and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Step 5
Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are browned and their moisture has evaporated.
Step 6
Pour in the Riesling and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze it.
Step 7
Add the chicken stock, heavy cream, and thyme sprigs. Stir to combine.
Step 8
Return the chicken thighs to the pan, skin side up, ensuring they are partially submerged in the sauce.
Step 9
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Step 10
Discard the thyme sprigs and taste the sauce, adjusting seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 11
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or buttered noodles.
