Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs bone in with skin
  • ½ teaspoon salt and more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 small onion
  • 3-4 garlic
  • ½ teaspoon chopped thyme
  • 3 cups  mushrooms
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup evaporated milk
  • ½ teaspoon Cajun salt or more
  • Parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 175F.
  • Trim chicken of any visible fat. Make a 1/2 " slit into chicken thigh meat on either side of the chicken
  • Season the 4 chicken thighs on both sides -with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
  • Place chicken, skin side down, on a non-stick skillet or cast iron with a lid, on high heat.
  • As soon as the chicken starts to sizzle, cover and reduce the heat down to medium - move the thighs around to make sure they aren't sticking to the skillet. Let it cook for about 16-18 minutes.
  • Prep ingredients – chop onions, chop mushrooms and mince garlic, thyme.
  • Make sure you check the chicken after 10 minutes. If it browning too fast reduce heat even further, until chicken is cooked. Transfer the thighs to a warm oven.

  • Turn the heat to high and then add the onion, garlic, thyme and mushrooms. Sauté, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes. Add Cajun salt, and then pour in the chicken stock and milk. Continue to cook for 2-3 minute over high heat until the sauce reduces. Adjust seasonings with salt and stock
