Equipment
- 12 inch skillet
- Digital meat thermometer
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs about 6 large thighs
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms I use cremini
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle seasoning over the chicken evenly.
- Heat oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Place the chicken in a hot skillet and sear for about 7-8 minutes. Flip and cook another 7-8 minutes or until chicken is 165 degrees and juices run clear. Remove chicken to a plate and keep warm.
- Add the butter to the skillet and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and sauté for about 3 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant for about another minute.
- Return the chicken to the pan and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Notes
The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size and thickness of your chicken thighs. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165F before consuming. Boneless chicken breasts can also be used; I recommend slicing them so they are thinner. Chicken tenders will also work.
