Ingredients

  • 1 lbchicken thighs, boneless skinless
  • ½ lbcremini mushrooms
  • ½ cupfrozen peas
  • 1 clovegarlic
  • 4 fl ozheavy whipping cream
  • 1 ozParmesan cheese
  • ½ mediumyellow onion

From the pantry: black pepper, butter, unsalted, rosemary, dried, salt

Cookware

aluminum foil · chef's knife · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · grater · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · stainless steel or cast iron skillet · stirring spoon · tongs

Directions

  1. Slice the mushrooms and set them aside in a bowl.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  3. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. Add butter to the skillet and melt it, then lay the chicken in a single layer and cook about 2 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil.
  5. In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion softens, about 2–3 minutes.
  6. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned and tender, about 4–5 minutes.
  7. Rinse the peas under warm water in a colander to thaw.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet with any juices, add the cream and spices, then cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 8–10 minutes. Garnish with grated Parmesan and stir it in.
  9. Divide among plates, spooning the sauce over the chicken and mushrooms for serving.

Two tips

  • Prep the onion and garlic while the chicken browns so you stay on track.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge; reheat gently and spoon extra sauce over reheated chicken.
