Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Mushrooms, sliced
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper on both sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side down, and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have softened and released their liquid.
Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, chicken broth, and white wine (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the dried oregano, dried thyme, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the skillet. Mix well to combine.
Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, placing them skin-side up on top of the tomato and mushroom mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes, basting the chicken occasionally with the sauce.
Remove the lid and continue cooking uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
Garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb Herb Braised Chicken with Tomatoes and Mushrooms!
