Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small shallot chopped
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 lemon sliced

Instructions

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin side down, and cook until golden, about 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Remove excess grease from the pan and turn heat down to medium low. Add the butter. When melted, add the shallots and mushrooms and saute for 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are reduced and slightly browned. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the chicken broth and let it bubble for a minute, then add the heavy cream. Whisk to combine and simmer for 5 minutes. Then add the Parmesan cheese and stir.
  • Add the chicken back to the pan, skin side up, and continue to cook until the chicken is cooked to 175 degrees F in the center.
  • Serve with a spritz of lemon on top.
