Ingredients

• 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Mushrooms, sliced
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side down, and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have softened and released their liquid.

Step 6

Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, chicken broth, and white wine (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Add the dried oregano, dried thyme, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the skillet. Mix well to combine.

Step 8

Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, placing them skin-side up on top of the tomato and mushroom mixture.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes, basting the chicken occasionally with the sauce.

Step 10

Remove the lid and continue cooking uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.

Step 11

Garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb Herb Braised Chicken with Tomatoes and Mushrooms!
