POULTRY ESSENTIALS: CREAMY MUSHROOM CHICKEN THIGHS
I found some chicken thighs hiding in the walk-in, and decided to play about. I wanted a creamy sauce with a bit of garlic, and some Italian seasonings. So, after one or two attempts, this is what I came up with. I had not planned on incorporating mushrooms; however, they turned out to be a pleasant addition. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Steps:
- PREP/PREPARE
- For this recipe, you will need an ovenproof skillet that is big enough to hold all the chicken.
- When I was working on this recipe, I tried several variations, so I only cooked 2 chicken thighs at a time (as the photos indicate). However, the ingredient list is proportioned to accommodate 4 thighs.
- On my third attempt at this recipe, I felt the sauce was missing something, so, I decided to add some sautéed shiitake mushrooms to the sauce, and that made all the difference.
- If you want to make the sauce a bit more decadent, you could use cream, in place of the milk; however, I found that whole milk did the job quite nicely.
- If your chicken thighs have large flaps of skin hanging down, then cut them off. They will only sit in the sauce and become soggy. YUK!
- Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
- Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 300f (150c).
- Add the butter and grapeseed oil to a skillet over medium heat.
- Pat the chicken thighs with a paper towel, season with a bit of salt and pepper, and add to the pan, skin-side-down, and cook until the skin is crispy, about 4 - 6 minutes.
- Chef's Tip: If you have a small pan, you might need to sear the chicken thighs in two batches. If you crowd the pan, the chicken will steam, not sear, and you will be left with steamed, pale, tasteless chicken. I HATE it when that happens. When you properly sear the chicken, you will have crispy, flavorful chicken.
- Flip the chicken, and cook for an additional 4 - 6 minutes.
- Remove the chicken, reserve, and then remove all but 2 tablespoons of the grease, then add the mushrooms to the pan; along with the white wine.
- Chef's Note: If you do not wish to use wine, then use 3 tablespoons of chicken stock, and 1 tablespoon of freshly-squeezed lemon juice.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften, and release their moisture, and the wine or stock is cooked down, about 5 - 7 minutes.
- Add the garlic, and stir until fragrant, 60 seconds.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes, and the sun-dried tomato oil, and stir for 2 minutes.
- Combine the remaining ingredients (except the chicken), to the skillet
- Stir to combine the ingredients, while slowly bringing up to a simmer, about 2 - 3 minutes.
- Chef's Note: While the sauce is coming up to the simmer, taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Return the chicken to the pan, skin side up.
- Place, uncovered, in the pre-heated oven, and bake for 25 minutes.
- Raise the heat to 375f (190c), and bake an additional 10 minutes.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Serve with pasta, rice, mash potatoes, veggies... whatever you choose, and do not forget that yummy sauce. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 220C/fan 200/gas 7. Wipe the chicken thighs with kitchen paper. Finely grate the zest from 1 lemon and squeeze the juice from both. Mix in a shallow dish with the tarragon, 1 tbsp of the oil, and some salt and pepper. Slash the skin of each chicken thigh three times, then turn in the marinade. The chicken pieces can be cooked immediately or left in the fridge for up to a day.
- Cut the potatoes into wedges and spread over a roasting tin. Toss in the remaining oil and sprinkle with paprika. Set a rack on top and arrange the chicken pieces on the rack. Bake for 30-40 mins, until the chicken is well browned and the potatoes tender. Serve with a simple green salad.
