Ingredients

• 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 250 g button or cremini mushrooms
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.75 cup sour cream
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Start by patting the chicken thighs dry and seasoning them with half of the salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a large ovenproof tray or baking dish, drizzle the olive oil and rub it to coat the bottom evenly.

Step 4

Place the chicken thighs in the tray in a single layer and bake for 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the chicken is baking, slice the mushrooms and onion thinly, and mince the garlic.

Step 6

In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 7

Add the garlic and mushrooms to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 8

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 9

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 10

Stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, and remaining salt and pepper. Mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Remove from the heat.

Step 11

Remove the partially cooked chicken from the oven and pour the mushroom sauce over it, spreading evenly to coat all pieces.

Step 12

Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 74°C or 165°F) and the sauce is bubbling.

Step 13

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 14

Serve hot over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a comforting meal.
