Ingredients

For the chicken

  • 6-8 boneless chicken thighs
  • Generous sprinkle of garlic powder salt, and pepper
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil

For the mushroom sauce

  • 8 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Fresh thyme, for garnish
  • Serve with your choice of veggie, pasta, rice, etc!

Instructions

  • Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
  • Preheat a large pan to medium-high heat and add the avocado oil. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked. You want the chicken to look nice and golden on the outside!
  • Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside.
  • Turn the heat to medium-low and add the chopped onion. Saute for a few minutes until translucent.
  • Next, add the sliced mushrooms and saute for another 5 minutes or so until soft. Once soft, add the chopped garlic and saute for about a minute longer.
  • Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the chicken stock. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up the brown bits from the bottom and stir everything together. Let this simmer for a couple of minutes.
  • Finally, add the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, dried thyme, and rosemary.
  • Mix everything well and simmer on low for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened. You'll know it's thickened if you drag the wooden spoon across the bottom and see a path on the bottom of the pan. That's the best way I can describe it haha
  • Add the chicken back into the pan and top with fresh thyme. This is optional, but it definitely makes it pretty!
  • Serve with your choice of veggie, pasta, or rice! Enjoy!
