Description
A delicious Herb Roasted Chicken in Creamy White Sauce with Mushroom and Potatoes, perfect for a delightful dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary. Rub this mixture all over the chicken thighs.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear for about 5 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for an additional 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are browned. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and return to a simmer.
- Add the halved baby potatoes to the skillet, then nestle the seared chicken thighs on top.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the potatoes are tender.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
- Consider adding spinach or green beans during the last 10 minutes of roasting for added color and nutrition.
