Mushroom Chicken
This Mushroom Chicken recipe features seared chicken thighs cooked with sautéed baby bella mushrooms and a splash of white wine. The chicken is dredged lightly in flour and browned for a crispy skin texture before simmering gently to finish cooking and blend flavors. The mushrooms add an earthy depth while the wine creates a subtle acidity and richness in the pan sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 chicken thighs skin on, bone off
- flour for dredging
- ½ cup white wine
- 8 ounces baby bella mushroom stems removed, halved and sliced
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Generously salt and pepper the chicken thighs. Dip them into the flour and shake off any excess.
- In a large skillet with a fitted lid, add olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, and the oil is hot but not smoking add the chicken skin side down. Sauté until golden brown. Turn over the chicken.
- Meanwhile, in another skillet add the remainder 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high. When the butter has melted, and bubbling, add the mushrooms and sauté until golden.
- Season with salt and pepper and add the mushrooms to the chicken thighs.
- Add white wine to the skillet. Lower the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
