A delicious herb roasted chicken served in a creamy white sauce with mushrooms and potatoes, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
- 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 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, mixing well.
- Add the halved baby potatoes to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce. Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before cooking.
- You can substitute the baby potatoes with sweet potatoes or add other vegetables like carrots or green beans for variety.
