Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Season 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5-6 minutes until skin is golden and crispy, then flip and sear the other side for 3 minutes.
Step 2: Transfer skillet to the oven and roast chicken for 15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove chicken and keep warm.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 finely chopped shallots. Sauté over medium heat for 2 minutes until translucent. Add 12 oz sliced mixed mushrooms and 3 minced garlic cloves, cooking for 5-6 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and edges become golden.
Step 4: Stir in 3 sprigs fresh thyme, then pour 1/2 cup dry white wine, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until wine reduces by half.
Step 5: Add 1 cup chicken stock and simmer for 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Remove thyme sprigs and stir in 2 tbsp unsalted butter until melted and glossy.
Step 6: Serve chicken thighs topped with the mushroom ragout, spooning extra sauce over each piece.
