  • 1 platter
  • 1 spatula
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

CHICKEN:

  • 1 1/2 lbs. chicken thigh fillets boneless, skinless, trimmed of any excess fat (about 6-8 thighs)
  • 3/4 tsp. onion powder
  • 3/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tsp. dried marjoram
  • 1 tsp. dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 2 to 4 tbsp. olive oil or avocado oil

GARLIC, MUSHROOM PARMESAN SAUCE:

  • 1 tbsp. salted butter
  • 8 oz. fresh mushrooms washed, sliced
  • 4 medium cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 tsp. dried parsley
  • 1 tsp. dried marjoram
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tsp. dried rosemary
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 1 tbsp. fresh parsley chopped, for garnish, if desired

Instructions
 

CHICKEN:

  • Combine onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, salt and pepper on a plate.
  • Coat each piece of chicken evenly on both sides.
  • Heat two tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add chicken thighs.
  • Cook and sear until browned on each side (about 8 minutes per side).
  • If necessary, add remaining oil when turning chicken pieces over to other side.
  • Transfer chicken thighs to a platter and keep warm.

GARLIC, MUSHROOM, PARMESAN SAUCE:

  • To same skillet, add butter and mushrooms.
  • Season generously with salt and pepper and cook about 3 minutes.
  • Add garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary and marjoram.
  • Cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Reduce heat to low-medium.
  • Stir in half-and-half or cream and cook until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir continuously.
  • Add Parmesan cheese and allow it to melt about 2 minutes.
  • Stir occasionally.
  • Return chicken to skillet.
  • Check seasonings.
  • Add additional salt, pepper or herbs, as desired.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

NOTE: If you need more seasoning to coat the chicken thighs, sprinkle with the herbs. I would not add more onion or garlic powder or you may find the recipe too salty.
 
NOTE: You can also season each piece of chicken by sprinkling herbs, salts and pepper gently over each side of the chicken in amounts you desire.
 
NOTE: You won’t need the additional oil if you use a non-stick skillet.
