Description
A comforting and creamy chicken and mushroom one-pan casserole made with tender chicken thighs, earthy mushrooms, and a rich, herby sauce. Perfect for a cozy dinner and easy enough for a weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 200 g (7 oz) chestnut mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tbsp plain (all-purpose) flour
- 180 ml (3/4 cup) dry white wine
- 480 ml (2 cups) chicken stock
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) double cream (heavy cream)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F (fan).
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and place them skin-side down in the pan.
- Cook for 5-6 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp. Turn over and cook for a further 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
- Sprinkle in the flour, stir, and cook for 1 minute.
- Slowly pour in the wine while stirring, then add the chicken stock, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the cream and return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up.
- Place the pan in the oven (uncovered) and cook for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
- Use boneless chicken thighs if you prefer, but reduce the cooking time slightly.
- You can substitute white wine with extra chicken stock if desired.
- Great served with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
