The star of this dish is undeniably the chicken thighs. Unlike chicken breasts, which can sometimes be dry and lack flavor, chicken thighs offer a richer taste and a juicier texture. They are also more forgiving when it comes to cooking time, making them an ideal choice for skillet meals. Loaded with protein, vitamins B6 and B12, and essential minerals like phosphorus and selenium, chicken thighs not only satisfy your taste buds but also contribute to a balanced diet. Their natural fat content keeps the meat moist during cooking, ensuring a tender, flavorful result that will make your taste buds dance.

Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup portabella mushrooms, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1 cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and half of the rosemary. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

    Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced portabella mushrooms. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender. Add the minced garlic and the remaining rosemary, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

        Deglaze the Skillet: Pour in the chicken broth and balsamic vinegar, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet for added flavor. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

          Combine: Return the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet. Cover and let it simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

            Finish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.
