Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Trim excess fat and season evenly with onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, cracked pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chicken thighs for about 8 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  3. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then add brown mushrooms, cooking for approximately 3 minutes until tender.
  4. Stir in minced garlic, fresh parsley, and a pinch of dried thyme and rosemary. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in ½ cup of dry white wine or chicken broth, stirring to combine. Simmer for about 2–3 minutes.
  6. Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, simmering together for another 3–5 minutes until cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
