Instructions

Step 1: Pat chicken thighs dry and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken skin-side down and sear for 5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for 3 minutes more.
Step 3: Remove chicken and set aside. Add 1/2 cup diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, cooking for 2 minutes until softened.
Step 4: Add 8 oz sliced mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes until browned and liquid evaporates.
Step 5: Pour in 1/2 cup white wine and 1/2 cup chicken broth, scraping the bottom to release browned bits. Stir in 1 tsp fresh thyme.
Step 6: Return chicken to the skillet, nestling into the mushroom mixture. Cover and bake at 375°F for 30 minutes until chicken is tender and juices run clear.
