Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 1 lb bone-in chicken thighs dry and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook 2 more minutes.
  3. Step 3: Remove chicken and set aside. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 8 oz sliced mushrooms to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until mushrooms release liquid and brown slightly.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1/4 cup chicken broth, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp chopped rosemary. Return chicken to skillet, nestling it among mushrooms. Cover with lid or foil and roast for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
