  • Carefully place the seasoned chicken thighs in the hot skillet. Cook undisturbed for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Toss in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir gently for about 3 minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth to the skillet and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  • Cover the skillet and let it cook for 20 minutes to ensure the chicken thighs become tender.
  • Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving.

Notes

For best results, let chicken thighs come to room temperature before cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
