Skillet Chicken Thighs With Green Beans And Mushrooms Recipes

ONE SKILLET CHICKEN WITH GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Arrange green beans in a microwave-safe dish with 1/2 cup (125ml) water. Cook in the microwave for 8-10 minutes, until almost done but still crisp.
• In a large skillet, add olive oil and butter to the pan and heat it over medium high heat. When the pan is hot, add sliced chicken, season it with salt and lemon pepper right in the pan, and cook for about 4 minutes on each side until chicken slices are slightly browned. Next add garlic, onion powder, precooked beans and mushrooms. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until cooked to your liking.
• Add chicken broth and heavy cream and reduce the sauce for a couple of minutes, until slightly thickened.
• Next add parmesan cheese into the pan. Stir until cheese is incorporated with the sauce. Taste and season with more salt and pepper.
• Serve warm and garnish with extra cheese, if desired.

SKILLET CHICKEN THIGHS WITH GREEN BEANS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Season chicken with thyme, salt and pepper. Place chicken skin side down in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook without moving 8 to 10 minutes, until skin is deep golden brown. Turn chicken over; reduce heat to medium, and cook 10 to 12 minutes or until deep golden brown. Remove chicken from skillet, and discard drippings.
• Add 1 1/2 cups of the broth to skillet; return chicken to skillet. Heat broth to simmering, and continue cooking over medium heat 15 to 20 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Remove skillet from heat, and transfer chicken to plate; cover and keep warm. Pour juices into 1-cup measuring cup. Add enough chicken broth to make 3/4 cup; set aside.
• Return skillet to medium heat; heat olive oil, and add mushrooms to skillet. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are tender and browned. Add garlic; cook about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
• Meanwhile, cook green beans in microwave as directed on bag for minimum cook time; set aside.
• Add reserved 3/4 cup chicken broth mixture, the cream cheese and pepper flakes. Heat to simmering; cook over medium heat 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until cheese is melted and sauce is starting to thicken. Stir in green beans, stirring to coat in sauce. Return chicken to skillet to serve.
• Serve chicken with pan sauce and green bean mixture. Garnish with chives.

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.

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.
