Description
A comforting and flavorful dish combining tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and tangy artichokes in a creamy, garlicky sauce. Perfect for weeknight dinners or hosting guests.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup artichoke hearts, drained
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the mushrooms, drain the artichokes, mince the garlic, and season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter melts, add the chicken thighs and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then toss in the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re browned and soft.
- Add the minced garlic and drained artichoke hearts to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring to combine.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium, then stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over each piece to coat. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender.
- Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and serve hot over pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
