  • salt Essential for seasoning
  • pepper Essential for seasoning

For the Vegetables

  • 2 cups baby potatoes Cook quickly and complement the chicken
  • 1 cup mushrooms Fresh and sliced for depth in sauce
  • 1 medium onion Adds sweetness and richness
  • 4 cloves garlic Freshly minced for flavor

For the Sauce

  • 1 cup chicken broth Use low-sodium for a healthier option
  • 1 cup heavy cream Makes the sauce rich and creamy

For Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For searing the chicken
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary Adds fragrant note

Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry and season with salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove chicken and sauté onions and garlic for 2-3 minutes. Add mushrooms and baby potatoes, cooking for another 5 minutes.
  • Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Return chicken thighs to the skillet, skin side up, nestled among the vegetables and sauce.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
  • Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

Ensure chicken is patted dry for crispy skin. Searing helps develop a rich flavor. For thicker sauce, let it simmer longer before adding chicken.
