This recipe becomes regular on my weeknight menu.Around here chicken makes a regular appearance on the dinner table. Myfamily never gets tired of chicken. To tell you the truth, it gets a little boring for me after a while to cook it over and over.

So I’m always looking for new recipes of grilled chicken, baked chicken, sautéed chicken…Make it once and see for yourself.

I used skinless and boneless chicken thighs in this chicken skillet recipe because they are the most flavorful part of the chicken. A boneless chicken thigh gives you the same ease of cooking as a boneless chicken breast and less of a chance of drying out. Besides, chicken thighs are very juicy and tender.

Chicken thighs are tasty and relatively cheap, they are perfect for a family dinner. I love boneless and skinless chicken thighs. They are so tasty and really easy to cook!

How to make these creamy chicken thighs?

Season the boneless and skinless chicken thighs with lemon and salt.

Rub them with a mixture of black pepper, dried rosemary, and thyme.

Make sure your skillet is HOT. So as soon as those thighs hit the pan they sear up and create a nice crust.

If you’re wondering what to serve with this chicken my recommendation would be mashed cauliflower. As for roasted vegetables? Anything goes, my friends! In fact, I go crazy with the veggies! Zucchini noodles, however, are particularly delicious.

  5. Transfer to a plate; set aside and keep warm.

Creamy Mushrooms Sauce

  1. On the same pan or skillet, put the olive oil and add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook until soft (about 3 minutes).

  2. Add the garlic, parsley, thyme and rosemary; sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).

  3. Stir in heavy cream, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and continue cooking until sauce has thickened slightly. Add nutmeg. Stir in the parmesan cheese and allow it to melt through the sauce for a further 4 minutes, while occasionally stirring.
