Saucy Chicken Thighs With Mushrooms And Pea Pods Recipes

SAUCY CHICKEN THIGHS WITH MUSHROOMS AND PEA PODS

Steps:

• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Remove chicken from skillet; set aside. Drain all but 1 tablespoon drippings from skillet. Add mushrooms to drippings; cook and stir about 5 minutes or until softened.
• Stir in milk and contents of sauce mix pouch (from Hamburger Helper box). Arrange chicken thighs in single layer over mushrooms. Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in sugar snap peas. Cook uncovered 3 to 4 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (180°F) and peas are crisp-tender.
• Meanwhile, fill 2-quart saucepan 2/3 full of water. Heat to boiling. Stir in contents of uncooked pasta pouch (from Hamburger Helper box). Gently boil uncovered 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender; drain.
• To serve, place pasta on large platter with sides. Top with chicken thighs and sauce.

BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pat thighs dry with paper towels. Combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle seasoning on both sides of the chicken thighs.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom with the hot oil. Place seasoned thighs in the skillet and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn thighs and brown the other side, about 2 minutes. Transfer browned thighs to a plate and keep warm.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet. Add mushrooms; cook and stir for about 2 minutes. Add smashed garlic cloves and herbes de Provence; cook and stir for 1 more minute.
• Move mushrooms to one side of the skillet and place 3 onion slices into the skillet. Place a browned chicken thigh on top of each onion slice. Move mushrooms to create an empty space in the skillet, and place the remaining onion slices and chicken thighs in the skillet.
• When all the onion slices and chicken thighs are placed, redistribute the mushrooms evenly around the skillet. Pour white wine over all and cover.
• Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake until chicken thighs are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Serve each chicken piece with a slice of the cooked onion and some mushrooms. Garnish with snipped chives or parsley.

CREAMY GARLIC AND MUSHROOM CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil over medium-heat in a large skillet. Season chicken thighs on both sides with thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place thighs, skin-side down, into the hot skillet and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Flip thighs over and brown other side, an additional 8 minutes. Remove thighs from skillet onto a large plate, and set aside. Reduce heat to medium-low.
• Add mushrooms to skillet and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in white wine and scrape browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Simmer until wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth and allow mixture to come back to a simmer.
• Return chicken thighs to the skillet, and cook, covered, until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Stir in heavy cream and cook until just heated through, about 1 more minute. Adjust salt and pepper and sprinkle with fresh parsley just before serving.
