Ingredients

Scale

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 medium sweet onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz sliced button mushrooms
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add diced onions and minced garlic; sauté until fragrant and translucent (about 5 minutes).
Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high; add chicken to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on each side (about 4-5 minutes per side).
Toss in sliced mushrooms and fresh thyme; sauté until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown (about 4-6 minutes).
Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Let simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream, cooking until heated through (3-5 minutes).
Serve warm over rice or noodles, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
