This Garlic Mushroom Chicken Thighs with Sun-Dried Tomatoes recipe promises a savory and hearty meal.
The flavors of earthy mushrooms meld perfectly with tangy sun-dried tomatoes, offering a gastronomic delight for your taste buds.
Ingredients
- 225g sliced mushrooms
- 700g boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning, divided
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter (or alternatives as per your preference)
- 60g sun-dried tomatoes, drained of oil and chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley, plus extra for garnish
- 60ml low-sodium chicken stock (optional)
Directions
Preparation:
Start by patting the chicken thighs dry using paper towels. Trim off any excess fat using a sharp knife. In a mixing bowl, combine the onion powder, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Seasoning the Chicken:
Ensure each chicken thigh is evenly coated with the seasoning mix.
Cooking the Chicken:
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded. Sear each side until browned and the center is no longer pink, which should take about 8 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate.
Preparing the Sauce:
Using the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until they're soft, about 3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes. Stir in the parsley and the remaining 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
Cook until fragrant, about a minute. If using chicken stock, pour it in now and let the sauce reduce slightly.
Combining:
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, letting them immerse in the mushroom and tomato mixture. Check the seasoning and adjust if necessary.
Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle some fresh parsley over the chicken for a vibrant finishing touch. Serve hot.
Recipe Note
If using sun-dried tomatoes in oil, consider using some of the oil for an added flavor punch while searing the chicken.
For a creamier consistency, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of cream cheese after adding the chicken stock.
Conclusion
This delightful dish is not only a treat for the palate but also a visual delight. It’s perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion.
Pair it with a side of your choice, and enjoy a well-rounded meal!
