For the Broth
- 1 cup Chicken broth adds moisture and rich flavor.

Instructions
Pour olive oil into a skillet, setting the heat to medium. Let it warm up until it's shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Generously sprinkle salt, pepper, and dried thyme on both sides of the chicken thighs.
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.
For best results, let chicken thighs come to room temperature before cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
