What you need:
Chicken:
- 1 pkg Bone-in Add to cart or Boneless Add to cart chicken thighs (4/pkg)
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp dried rosemary
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional if you like spicy)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbs oil, lard or tallow
Sauce:
- 1 Tbs butter
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (more if you like it garlicky)
- 1 Tbs parsley fresh, chopped
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp dried rosemary
- 1 ½ cups thickened cream heavy cream (I used the cream from our raw milk)
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, shredded
How to make it:
- Dry the thighs. Mix together the onion powder, garlic powder, thyme and rosemary, salt and pepper. Sprinkle on both sides of the thighs evenly.
- Sear the chicken in batches: Heat 1 tablespoon of lard/oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken thighs in batches, 8-10 minutes per side, until browned on each side and no longer pink in the middle (This will take longer for bone-in over boneless). Repeat and set aside and keep warm (I put them in oven at low temp).
- In the same pan, melt the butter and add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook until soft (about 3 minutes), scraping any bits off the pan as they cook. Add the garlic and herbs - sauté about 1 minute.
- Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook until sauce has thickened slightly. Add the parmesan cheese and allow it to melt while stirring.
- Return chicken to the pan and cook all together for 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with the parsley. Serve immediately.
