Cream of mushroom chicken thighs are a delightful dish that I love to cook at home. The combination of tender chicken thighs, savory cream of mushroom sauce, and aromatic herbs and spices creates a comforting and satisfying meal. Whether it’s for a cozy dinner with family or a special occasion, this recipe never fails to impress.

Ingredients:

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • Salt and black pepper for seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin side down, and cook until the skin is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  5. Turn the chicken thighs over and brown the other side for an additional 3 minutes.
  6. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  7. In the same skillet, combine the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.
  8. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
  9. Stir in the heavy cream and return the chicken thighs to the skillet, coating them with the mushroom sauce.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

The aroma that fills the kitchen as the cream of mushroom chicken thighs bake in the oven is simply irresistible. The flavors meld together beautifully, and the chicken becomes incredibly tender, thanks to the creamy sauce. I love to serve this dish with steamed rice or mashed potatoes to soak up every last bit of the luscious sauce.
