Season the chicken thighs on both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and the black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown slightly.
Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juice, the drained and rinsed beans, chicken broth, dried thyme, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to combine.
Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the pan, skin-side up. Make sure they are partially submerged in the sauce, but the skin stays exposed to stay crispy.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and let the dish cook for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 5 minutes to let the sauce thicken slightly.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy hot on its own or with crusty bread, rice, or mashed potatoes.
