Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken thighs to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated, and ensure they're mostly submerged in the liquid.
Add the fresh thyme leaves. Cover the pot with a lid and let the stew simmer gently for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Once cooked, remove the lid and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the keto chicken and mushroom stew hot, garnished with extra chopped parsley if desired.
