Savory Baked Chicken Thighs with Mushrooms and Onions

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Baked Chicken Thighs with Mushrooms and Onions.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, take a moment to pat your chicken thighs dry with some paper towels—this helps them get that lovely golden-brown color.

3. Step 3

   In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful seasoning mix.

4. Step 4

   Generously rub this mixture over both sides of the chicken thighs, ensuring they’re well-coated for maximum flavor.

5. Step 5

   Next, grab a 12-inch nonstick oven-safe skillet and heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

6. Step 6

   Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the seasoned chicken thighs.

7. Step 7

   Let them sizzle for about 3 minutes until they develop a beautiful brown crust.

8. Step 8

   Flip the thighs over and let the other side brown for an additional 2 minutes.

9. Step 9

   Once they’re perfectly browned, transfer the chicken to a plate and keep them warm while you work on the next steps.

10. Step 10

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and toss in your sliced mushrooms.

11. Step 11

    Sauté them for about 2 minutes until they start to soften.

12. Step 12

    Then, add in some smashed garlic cloves and a sprinkle of herbes de Provence, cooking for another minute until your kitchen is filled with a delightful aroma.

13. Step 13

    Now, let’s get creative! Push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet and place three onion rings on the other side.

14. Step 14

    Nestle a browned chicken thigh on top of each onion ring, and then arrange the remaining onion rings and chicken thighs around the skillet, redistributing the mushrooms for a beautiful presentation.

15. Step 15

    To bring it all together, pour a splash of dry white wine over the chicken and veggies, then cover the skillet with a lid.

16. Step 16

    This will help lock in all those wonderful flavors.

17. Step 17

    Carefully transfer the skillet to your preheated oven and let it bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

18. Step 18

    You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear—an instant-read thermometer should read at least 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.

19. Step 19

    When it’s time to serve, plate each chicken thigh alongside a slice of cooked onion and a generous helping of mushrooms.

20. Step 20

    For a pop of color and freshness, feel free to garnish with some chopped chives or parsley.
