Creamy baked chicken and mushrooms

The secret to this creamy chicken bake? Chicken thighs! With far more connective tissue in the slightly darker meat, chicken thighs are far less prone to drying out when compared to chicken breasts, guaranteeing juicy results.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 6 chicken thigh cutlets
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 brown onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 400 g small button mushrooms
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 6 sprigs thyme
  • 300 ml thickened cream
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tsp chicken stock powder
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves, to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C (fan-forced). Heat a large heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add the oil. Season the chicken well on both sides with salt and black pepper, then fry, skin-side down for about 6 minutes, or until well-browned. Remove the chicken to a plate.
  2. Add the onion, garlic and mushrooms to the pan and fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to brown. Stir through the tomato paste, thyme, cream, soy sauce and stock powder. Return the chicken to the pan.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
