Crispy boneless chicken thighs in a thick and creamy mushroom sauce with garlic, herbs and parmesan cheese is the weeknight dinner everyone raves about!

Served over rice, pasta, mashed potatoes OR low carb Keto options like mashed cauliflower or zucchini noodles, this would have to be one of the best ways to enjoy boneless chicken thighs! There’s nothing like a quick and easy chicken recipe to whip up and have on the table in less than 15 minutes!

Chicken Thigh Recipes

With all of the chicken thigh recipes on this blog, this one right here is one of my favourites! Using boneless chicken thighs means a quicker cook time on the stove top when compared with bone-in baked chicken thighs.

How To Cook Chicken Thighs

Sear thighs in batches of two or three — no more than 3 fillets at a time depending on the size of your pan to avoid over-crowding. Please don’t be tempted to throw all fillets in the pan! You will have steamed, pale and tasteless chicken. No bueno.

Instead, each thigh needs space between them which will sear your chicken to a beautiful golden brown colour, locking in moisture, resulting in the juicy flavour you want!

Creamy Sauce for Chicken

PACKED with flavour, this sauce is everything! Start with garlic buttery mushrooms and turn them into the best sauce for your chicken! We usebrown (or Cremini) mushrooms, but any kind is fine to use.

Raid your kitchen cupboards and refrigerators, because you most probably have the rest of the ingredients on hand!

Ingredients for Sauce

Dried herbs — I use dried here because we all have jars of seasonings and herbs hanging around our pantries. You CAN use fresh if you have them! Two teaspoons each of fresh herbs is fine.
I use Thyme and Rosemary but you can swap anything you don’t like out for what you DO like. Use Oregano, Basil or even Tarragon!
Heavy or thickened cream is used for low carb/high fat purposes. If counting calories and/or fat macros instead, use evaporated milk, reduced fat cream or half and half.

For even more amazing flavour, add in 1/3 cup white wine with your mushrooms and cook it down to half before adding in your cream! YUUUHM!

PRINT SAVE

Prep: 10 minutes mins

Cook: 15 minutes mins

Total: 25 minutes mins

Serves: 6 people

Ingredients

For The Chicken:

1 1/2 pounds (700g) boneless skinless chicken thighs (around 6-8 fillets)
1 teaspoon each onion powder and garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon each of dried thyme and rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

For The Sauce:

1 tablespoon butter
8 ounces (250 g) sliced brown mushrooms
4 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tablespoon minced garlic)
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
1/2 - 1 teaspoon each of dried thyme and dried rosemary (adjust to your taste)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream / thickened cream (evaporated milk or half and half)*
1/2 cup fresh shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towel and trim off excess fat. Combine the onion powder, garlic powder, herbs, salt and pepper. Coat the chicken evenly with the combined seasoning.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken thighs in batches until browned on each side and no longer pink in centre (about 8 minutes each side, depending on thickness). Add remaining oil if needed for second batch. Transfer to a plate; set aside and keep warm.
To the same pan or skillet, melt the butter and add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook until soft (about 3 minutes). Add the garlic, parsley, thyme and rosemary; sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Stir in cream, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and continue cooking until sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in the parmesan cheese and allow it to melt through the sauce for a further 2 minutes, while occasionally stirring.
Return chicken to the pan. Taste test and season with salt and pepper to your taste. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

*You CAN use fresh herbs if you have them! 2 teaspoons each of fresh herbs is fine.If you don't like Thyme or Rosemary, substitute with Basil and Oregano, or use Tarragon.
**Heavy or thickened cream is used for low carb/high fat purposes. If counting calories and/or fat macros instead, use evaporated milk, reduced fat cream or half and half.

For a dairy free option, I find Cashew milk the best in flavour. You can also use almond milk or rice milk. Thicken with a cornstarch slurry (2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water, mix to blend well and add to the sauce, stirring quickly, until thickened)

Optional: For even more amazing flavour, add in 1/3 cup dry white wine with your mushrooms and cook it down to half before adding in your garlic and cream!

Prepared this dish this evening, the delightful flavors are still lingering on my taste buds. It’s truly a fast and relatively easy meal for a week night dinner. I have two recommendations for those considering making it. 1) get all of your prep work done as this dish comes together quickly, 2) use the white wine. It not only adds to the flavor, but it will de-glaze the skillet so you get all of those bits off the bottom. I made one substitution, manchego cheese instesd of parm. I served it over white rice with some long string beans as a side. My overall cost was about $6 a serving. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Happy family here.

I’m always looking for new recipes for boneless thighs because they’re so cheap. I have tried hundreds of recipes, as I try to cook every night for my family and it gets exhausting changing things up. I came across this recipe and it’s all our favorite things so I have it a try. I made it with the wine, and I actually had fresh herbs so I used those as well. For a little extra nutrition I threw in some spinach towards the end and we ate it over rice. It was a hit with the whole family, including my 6 year old and 16 month old. Thanks for such an easy recipe! I’ll be making it again tonight!

This dish is so simple, yet so flavorful. Whenever I’ve made mushroom chicken it’s a cream of mushroom canned soup dump and go.. Have been trying to get away from using processed foods and more clean eating for my family when I stumbled on this recipe. It is Absolutely amazing, my husband said it was restaurant quality and even my son who hates mushrooms loved it. We ate it over rice because being from Hawaii that’s the one thing we can’t escape even when trying to eat healthy! However, it’s so tasty it would be good with pasta, mashed potatoes or even just next to veggies. My only tweak was sauteed purple onions because that’s what we love but it’s flavors are more than enough with it without them.

I did make some modifications. However I didn’t stray too far from the OG recipe. It. Was. Awesome.
I added a bit of chicken broth when my skillet herbs got a little too brown. Then I added the wine. I also added some shallot, sun dried tomatoes and spinach. To thicken it up with half and half I added 1/2 c of my linguine water which I served this over.
My husband who hates chicken said he’d eat it again. I’ll call it a W.
Thank you!!!!

sat down to eat it was gone. I think it would be simply great left over.

So delicious and easy!! I diced a shallot and one of the cloves of garlic and threw in with the melted butter, sautéing for a bit. Then added the mushrooms, the rest of the garlic, which I shaved into thin slices, and a couple of teaspoons each of chopped fresh thyme and rosemary. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a hit! I say to this recipe, “Welcome to the rotation!”

I felt like making this dish I was on chopped. I didn’t have any heavy cream so I used coconut milk just a half a can or less. Then I didn’t have any chicken broth so I made a cup of water and two chicken bouillon cubes. Don’t use two chicken bouillon cubes, just use one Bcz, it was a little too salty. But of course I had everything else and it turned out fantastic, you really don’t taste the coconut milk, I was really surprised about that. This was a delicious dish thank you very much for your recipe

I absolutely LOVEEEE this dish!!! It tastes just as good as it looks and it’s so easy to make. I started off as a terrible cook and would try numerous recipes on google that looked good, but never came out right. I was about to lose hope then I found this recipe on a google page which lead me to the Cafe Delites website; it was a game changer. Since then I’ve made several other dishes from Cafe Delites and now my boyfriend is so impressed that he actually gets excited when I tell him I’m making dinner each night. This dish is still my top favorite and deserves a shout out for making me a star in my own home. Thank you so much Karina for providing these wonderful recipes. I’m no longer scared of the kitchen and my boyfriend and I can enjoy tasty home cooked meals all because of you! 🙂

Delicious! I added the suggested white wine and half and half because I didn’t have heavy cream. It didn’t end up thickening as much as it probably would have with the cream, so I added a little corn starch slurry and it thickened nicely. Served with gnocchi and steamed broccoli. My husband thought it was awesome and even my picky kids liked it! Next time I would probably make extra sauce and serve over bow tie pasta.

This recipe was soooo yum! We made it to serve to my boyfriend’s roommates & one of their mom’s – to say it was a crowd pleaser is an understatement. Preparation instructions were easy to follow. The aroma while cooking was absolutely mouth watering & got us pumped up to eat. Adding the white wine is highly encouraged for rich flavor. Paired well with linguine noodles. Next time I would consider adding vegetable stock, more butter & more cream (we used half & half) to make more sauce for our pasta. It will absolutely be added to my regular rotation!

  For those not restricting carbs, cornstarch mixed into water until a smooth paste forms, then whisked into a simmering sauce is the classic way to thicken. Low carb folks would use something like more Parmesan, xanthan gum, konjac powder, etc.

I made this recipe tonight for the second time. I used breast instead of thighs because I had them on hand. Usually I prefer thighs to breast but if you cook the breast until they are 3/4 done and finish them off in the sauce while it simmers they will be tender and full of flavor. I also used a cast iron pan that worked great. Everything was delicious but I did tweek it more to my taste. I eye balled the amounts of the ingredients and used more parm then the recipe calls for. Overall this it was a 10 out of 10 I will make this again for sure.

This was yummy, but it does take more than 15 minutes to cook. The chicken thighs alone, it says to cook about 8 minutes on each side, which would already be 16 minutes, if you put them all in at once, instead of doing 2 rounds, like the recipe calls for. And then you still have to make the sauce. So it wasn’t as fast as I was hoping for, but I’ll still probably make it again, though I might make less of the sauce, but that’s just personal preference.

I’ve done this recipe twice. The first time adhering strictly to instructions and the second time giving a bit more seasoning to the chicken and more garlic. They both turned out good, but I found that my first time around, it was more herb-tasting than garlicy. And I needed a bit more season. The second time around it was Bangin’ I used just about the same amount of seasoning, but for nearly half the amount of chicken. I appreciate this recipe and this video. Can’t wait to try the others 🙂

It’s only right to give credit where it’s due! This recipe was so easy to make. It was a last minute dinner and with luck I had everything on hand so I was excited to give this recipe a go. Next time, I will try with half and half only… to make it healthier. Well it didn’t help that I paired it with linguine but all was ok with portion control. It was absolutely delicious!

This was absolutely fabulous! I am on Keto and looking for recipes I can make ahead for the week, and this one will be a regular go to. I used your suggestion of white wine and think that is what takes it over the top. My only issue is that I try to save some fat calories so I can easily have an evening “treat”, so I was trying to re-work the sauce to have less fat macros and calories. I substituted macadamia nut milk (which is great for coffee) for all of the heavy cream, but it just didn’t have the same delicious flavor. I am going to try your suggestion of cashew milk, but maybe substitute it for only half of the cream. I was wondering if you (or anyone else) have tried substitutions that still have the same amazing flavor? I guess all those fats and calories do serve a purpose! Thanks for a fabulous recipe!

We enjoyed this recipe very much and served it alongside steamed green beans. Not only is it easy to prepare and quick for a weeknight, it’s one pan and it’s something I can prepare from pantry/refrigerator. I used boneless skinless chicken breasts that I cut into cutlets and pounded even because it’s what I had in the refrigerator. In the chicken seasoning I used dried thyme only but used dried thyme & rosemary in the sauce. Next time, I will crush the rosemary so that we are biting into the dried herb – just a personal preference. I think I might also add just a smidgen of flour to the chicken seasoning even though it’s contrary to the low-carb concept. I look forward to preparing this again. Thank you

The best chicken thighs we’ve ever had. Wouldn’t change a thing. Really looking forward to checking out some of your other recipes. Made with roast potatoes and asparagus.

I got bone-in thighs by accident, is there anything you recommend so I could still make the recipe work?

We made this tonight. It was a HUGE hit. I only used a cup of cream and I used dried parsley. Next time I’ll try adding the wine that was suggested as an option. Super yum. Will be sending to my sister. Thank you for rescuing us from a night of “I have no idea what to fix for dinner, but I have these chicken thighs in the refrigerator.” haha 🙂

  Made this. My husband and the kids are picky eaters yet truly liked this dish – may it be with rice or spaghetti, they went in for seconds and thirds. Did it first for dinner paired with rice, and another batch the ff day for lunch with pasta. Really good and easy to make! ❤ Thank you!

my house smelled amazing while this was cooking away last night! I added the wine and used fresh thyme and rosemary for the sauce (and used dried for the chicken seasoning), only found that the fresh herbs were overpowering the dish even when I used less than what it called for. maybe dried wouldn’t have done this? i am definitely going to make it again but I will only add the fresh parsley to the sauce and hope to taste more of the mushrooms. overall though, delicious!! (the stars aren’t working for some reason, but i give this recipe a 4!!)

Made this on the fly at midnight cause I was hungry and looking for something I could send to work with my husband for lunch. OHHH MYYY GOOOOODNESSSS. This was very satisfying. I only made enough for me and 1 lunch for him because only half of my chicken thighs were defrosted. I could have eaten it all, it was so good.

I made this tonight, i made exactly as directions said. It was good. I did add that 1/3 cup of white wine and reduced it down. I think 1/3 cup was too much and it was over powering the other flavors. I had to dilute it with some 1 percent milk. Next time i will only use a splash of wine or not use it at all. Other wise it is a good recipe.

This was amazing. My chicken was juicy and tender. My kids went crazy over it. Very versatile. I just served it with rice and salad. We like garlic, so I added more garlic. But this was so simple to make. I will be making this again!!! Great recipe. I highly recommend it. I even posted it on my Facebook, we liked it so much!!

I’ve never reviewed a recipe before, and I try all sorts of new ones all the time. Let me tell you… this recipe is everything! It was soooo flavorful and creamy. Hands down the best meal ive cooked all year. I had to sub heavy cream for almond milk and some garden veggie cream cheese, also subbed sharp cheddar for parm and added a little kale for color. Served over roasted cauliflower so it’s keto friendly. Dinner was phenomenal

Followed the recipe pretty much to a ‘T.’ Didn’t have cream so substituted milk and butter with a cornstarch slurry. Very, very good. Served over spaghetti with garlic bread. Sear the thighs to get a good crisp on them. Then follow up with the mushrooms and cream to capture the flavor off the bottom of the pan. Excellent.

I made this last night. It was so good and so easy! I left out the cheese and added a pat of butter instead (only because I am tired of Parmesan cheese) and it still came out terrific. Next time I will follow your advice and deglaze the pan with white wine or maybe some dry sherry but I was out this time. Thank you for a delicious, easy and inexpensive recipe!

  This recipe was delicious, and I also used Herbs de Provence and served it over mashed potatoes. It was a big hit with my husband, and this recipe was very easy to follow. I made it in an enameled cast-iron dutch oven, which was perfect for really nice searing on the chicken thighs and then a very flavorful sauce. Thank you!!
