Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Step 4
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.
Step 5
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Return the chicken thighs to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated, and ensure they're mostly submerged in the liquid.
Step 7
Add the fresh thyme leaves. Cover the pot with a lid and let the stew simmer gently for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the lid and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Step 9
Serve the keto chicken and mushroom stew hot, garnished with extra chopped parsley if desired.
