Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs for about 8 minutes per side until golden brown, then remove and keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil if needed and sauté the mushrooms for about 3 minutes until tender.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and parsley, sautéing for about 1 minute without burning the garlic.
  5. Deglaze the pan with white wine or chicken broth, scraping up brown bits, and allow to simmer until reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Return seared chicken to the skillet, coat well with sauce, season to taste, and heat through for about 2 minutes before serving with fresh parsley.
