Ingredients

• 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 250 grams Button mushrooms (sliced)
• 500 milliliters Chicken stock
• 120 milliliters Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Season them evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge each chicken thigh in flour, lightly coating all sides. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for another 4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.

Step 7

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, until softened and slightly browned.

Step 8

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 9

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet and bring the liquid to a simmer. Cover with a lid and cook for 30 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through cooking.

Step 10

Remove the lid and stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Simmer uncovered for another 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 11

Stir in the freshly chopped dill and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 12

Serve the Polish Style Royal Chicken hot, garnished with extra dill if desired. This dish pairs beautifully with boiled potatoes or rice.
