Description

A comforting dish that encapsulates the rustic charm of French cuisine, perfect for family gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs, skin-on and bone-in
  • 2 cups of fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 1 cup of chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the chicken thighs, seasoned with salt and pepper, and brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  4. Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped onions, and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the garlic and mushrooms, and cook until tender.
  6. Stir in the Dijon mustard, thyme, chicken broth, and cream. Mix well and bring to a simmer.
  7. Nestle the browned chicken into the skillet and cover it with the sauce.
  8. Transfer everything to a casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to let the top brown.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on thighs. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
