  • 1 cup Heavy Cream can substitute with half-and-half or coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard for tangy flavor
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
Additional Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme or fresh thyme if available
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth low-sodium preferred

  • Meat Thermometer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear for another 5 minutes, then set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes until browned. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
  4. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Let it simmer for 2 minutes, then add heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Return chicken to skillet, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted, taste, and adjust seasoning. Garnish with parsley before serving.
