Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 pieces chicken thighs (skin-on, bone-in)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

Mushroom Mixture

  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing and coating baking dish)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  2. Seasoning the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs generously with salt, black pepper, and thyme. Place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic: Heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, sautéing until the mushrooms are tender and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  4. Combine and Bake: Pour the sautéed garlic and mushrooms over the chicken thighs in the baking dish, ensuring an even distribution for maximum flavor infusion.
  5. Baking: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Serving: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

  • For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts if preferred, but adjust baking time accordingly as breasts cook faster.
  • Add fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving for added flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is safely cooked to 165°F (74°C).
  • Leftover chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
