The secret behind the perfect chicken thighs in mushroom cream sauce starts with high-quality ingredients. Choose good-quality juicy chicken thighs. These are more tender and flavourful than chicken breast because they contain more fat. Fat is flavour, and it keeps the chicken thighs juicy while cooking.

The mushroom cream sauce is an important part of this dish. Fresh mushrooms, sliced, are sautéed together with shallots and garlic until they are wonderfully fragrant. You then add cream, giving the sauce a rich and creamy texture. Herbs such as thyme, rosemary and pepper add extra flavour to the sauce. Simmer the sauce until it has thickened slightly, allowing all the flavours to be absorbed well.

When the sauce is ready, add the seasoned chicken thighs. Fry the thighs in a pan until golden brown and cooked. By simmering the chicken thighs in the sauce, they absorb the flavours of the mushroom sauce and become even more flavourful.

Serve chicken thighs in mushroom cream sauce with your favourite side dishes. The dish goes excellently with steamed rice, mashed potatoes or pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a hint of colour and extra flavour.

Chicken thighs in mushroom cream sauce is a popular dish suitable for a variety of occasions. Whether you are organising a cosy dinner with friends or just want to treat yourself to a tasty meal, this dish is always a success.
