Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons shallots, minced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup white wine (optional)
• 0.5 cup chicken stock
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 4

Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Sear for 5–6 minutes, until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for 2–3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden.

Step 6

Stir in the minced shallots and garlic, cooking for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine (if using). Stir and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine reduce by half, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Pour in the chicken stock and stir. Add the fresh rosemary sprigs.

Step 9

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the chicken to a plate. Discard the rosemary sprigs.

Step 12

Place the skillet back over medium heat. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 13

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet to coat with the sauce.

Step 14

Serve the chicken warm, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
