Ingredients
For The Chicken:
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, around 6-8 fillets
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cracked pepper
- ¾ teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
For The Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 ounces brown mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- ½ - 1 teaspoon dried thyme, adjust to your taste
- ½ - 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, adjust to your taste
- ½ cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- Salt and pepper, to season if needed
Instructions
- Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and trim off excess fat. Combine the onion powder, garlic powder, herbs, salt, pepper and paprika. Coat the chicken evenly with the combined seasoning.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken thighs in batches until browned on each side and no longer pink in the center (about 8 minutes on each side, depending on thickness). Add the remaining oil to cook the second batch. Transfer to a plate; set aside and keep warm.
- In the same pan, melt the butter and add the mushrooms. Cook until soft (about 3 minutes). Add the garlic, parsley, thyme, and rosemary; sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add in the wine or stock and let simmer to reduce to half.
- Return the chicken to the pan. Taste test and season with salt and pepper to your taste. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes
- *You CAN use fresh herbs if you have them! 2 teaspoons each of fresh herbs is fine. If you don't like thyme or rosemary, substitute with basil and oregano, or use tarragon.
- Optional: Add in an extra ¼ cup of chicken broth for extra sauce.
