INGREDIENTS

  • Chicken

    • 🍗 1 (1.25 pound) package bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

  • Spices and Seasoning

    • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
    • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
    • 2 teaspoons onion powder
    • 🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • Cooking Fats

    • 🧈 2 tablespoons butter
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Vegetables

    • 🍄 8 ounces button mushrooms
    • 🧄 2 tablespoons minced garlic

  • Liquids

    • 1 cup chicken bone broth
    • 🥛 1 cup evaporated milk

STEPS

1

Season both sides of chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

2

Whisk flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the seasoned flour.

3

Dredge chicken in the remaining seasoned flour and set aside on a plate.

4

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat, and melt butter with olive oil. Fry chicken thighs until both sides are golden brown, about 7 minutes per side.

5

Remove chicken from the skillet. Add button mushrooms and shallot to the skillet, cooking and stirring until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

6

Sprinkle reserved seasoned flour over the mushroom mixture to form a paste. Gradually whisk in bone broth and evaporated milk.

7

Return chicken thighs to the skillet, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the center of thighs reads 165°F (74°C), about 20 to 25 minutes.
