  • Prep Time: 10m
  • Cook Time: 35m

Ingredients

Chicken Thighs

  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1 1/2 lb chicken thighs skin-on bone-in, about 5-6 pieces

Mushrooms

  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Sauce

  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 1 tbsp. flour
  • 1/2 c sodium-free chicken broth, adjust salt if not sodium free
  • 1/4 c dry white wine
  • 1 tbsp. fresh rosemary, minced, plus more rosemary sprigs for flavor
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. While the oil is heating, mix the salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle the seasoning over the chicken and rub the seasoning on the chicken.
  4. Once the skillet is hot, place chicken thighs in the skillet skin side up and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown on both sides, about 8 to 10 minutes total.
  5. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Chicken will be golden brown but not cooked through.
  6. Add butter and sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes until cooked. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
  7. Reduce heat to medium and add 1 more tablespoon butter. Once the butter is melted, move mushrooms to one side and whisk 1 tablespoon flour into the melted butter.
  8. Add wine slowly to the hot pan, increasing heat from medium to high for a few minutes.
  9. Add the chicken stock and minced rosemary and let everything cook for about 5 minutes.
  10. Add salt and pepper and taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  11. Return chicken back to the pan and add fresh rosemary sprigs on top of the chicken.
  12. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 35 minutes.
