Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 chicken thighs, 1 cup of sliced mushrooms, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 cup of white wine, 1 cup of chicken broth, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley for garnish.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
- In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side down. Sear them for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the chicken thighs over and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Once browned, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender and have released their moisture. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the mushrooms and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
- Pour in the 1/2 cup of white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release any flavorful bits stuck to the pan. Allow the wine to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.
- Next, pour in the 1 cup of chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, and spoon some of the sauce over them. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer on medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- To serve, plate the chicken thighs and spoon the mushroom garlic white wine sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Enjoy your delicious Chicken Mushrooms Garlic White Wine Sauce with a side of pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce!
Tips
- Pat chicken thighs completely dry before seasoning to ensure a crispy, golden-brown skin.
- Use a high-quality white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc for the best flavor profile.
- Don't rush the searing process—allow chicken skin to develop a beautiful golden color for maximum flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches the safe internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain its juiciness.
- Fresh parsley is key—chop it just before garnishing to maintain its vibrant color and fresh taste.
- For a richer sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream in the final minutes of cooking.
- Choose bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for more flavor and juicier meat.
