How To Reheat

You can reheat chicken thighs with the sauce in the oven, microwave, or on the stove.

How To Make Chicken Thighs With Creamy Mushroom Sauce

• The first thing to do is to gather all the ingredients so that you have everything that you need close by.

• Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.

• Season the chicken thighs with 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

• Heat a large frying pan with oil.

• Add the chicken thighs to the frying pan and cook for 5-9 minutes(depending on the size of the chicken thighs) and then flip them over and cook for an additional 5-9 minutes on the other side.

• While the chicken thighs are cooking you can prepare the mushroom sauce.

• Open the can of mushroom soup and pour it into a bowl. Next, add the water and stir around well mixing everything together. Set aside to use later.

• When the chicken thighs are done cooking remove them from the frying pan and place them on a plate.

• Using the same frying pan add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

• Then pour the mushroom sauce into the frying pan. Add mushrooms, rosemary, parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir around well.

• Add parmesan cheese and stir.

• Bring the sauce to a boil and then turn down the heat to low. Put the chicken thighs back into the frying pan. Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the chicken thighs.

• Your dish is now ready to enjoy.

Tips

• Avoid overcrowding the frying pan. This will help to ensure that the chicken thighs will cook more evenly.
• Don’t burn the garlic.
• Cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken thighs you are using.
• Adjust salt as needed.

Can I Use Other Ingredients

I get this question a lot and here are some of my suggestions for substitutions.

Chicken: I used boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe. You could use bone-in chicken thighs. You might need to increase the cooking time if you use bone-in chicken thighs.

Garlic: If you don’t have minced garlic you can use a clove of whole garlic. Cut the garlic into small pieces. You would need to cook the garlic a bit before adding the rest of the ingredients if you will be using a whole clove of garlic.

Spicy: If you would like this dish spicy you could add red pepper flakes or jalapenos to this sauce to make it spicy.

What To Serve With

There are a lot of things that go well with this chicken thighs recipe. Some suggestions are:

Rice- This recipe goes well served with white or brown rice.

Vegetables- Enjoy this recipe with a side of vegetables.

Potatoes- Mashed or baked potatoes taste great with this recipe. Use the mushroom sauce as a gravy for the potatoes.
