Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs (skin-on)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Oils

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting the chicken and vegetables evenly.
  2. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs generously with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and rosemary, covering all sides for maximum flavor.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes, then remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms soften and release their aroma. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Add Potatoes: Add the halved baby potatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine them with the mushrooms and garlic evenly.
  6. Combine Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to integrate all the ingredients and create a creamy sauce base.
  7. Return the Chicken: Nestle the seared chicken thighs on top of the vegetables and sauce in the skillet, ensuring they sit skin-side up for crispness.
  8. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C), and potatoes tender when done.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the dish rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a burst of color and fresh flavor before serving.

Notes

  • Use an oven-safe skillet or transfer the ingredients to a roasting pan before baking if needed.
  • For crispier chicken skin, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • Substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free alternative, adjusting seasoning accordingly.
  • Baby potatoes can be swapped with fingerling potatoes or small red potatoes.
  • Ensure chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
