Skillet Mushroom Chicken Thighs

Golden brown, super juicy, tender chicken smothered in a garlicky, mushroom butter sauce. 30 min. So quick, so so good!

Chicken thighs. Cremini mushrooms. Tons of garlic. All the butter. And fresh thyme. The five key ingredients to a dinner I had every day this entire week.

No, wait, I had pizza on Friday but I legit had this three days in a row, and it was so so good.

The chicken thighs were cooked perfectly – golden brown, juicy, melt-in-your mouth – which paired with the softened, tender cremini mushrooms swimming in the garlicky, buttery sauce infused with all the fresh thyme leaves.

I love the mushrooms so much – they soak up all the juicy bits! So sometimes I’ll even bring down the chicken thighs to one pound and increase the mushrooms to 16 ounces. Even ratios is totally a thing. And you can never have too many mushrooms.

Serve with:

• garlic parmesan roasted potatoes.
• crispy roasted herb potatoes.
• baked garlic herb potato wedges.

Chungah Rhee

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 5 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour, divided
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small shallot, minced
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions:

1. Season chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Dredge chicken in 4 tablespoons flour until evenly coated.
2. Heat canola oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
3. Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 4-5 minutes per side; set aside. Reduce heat to medium low.
4. Add garlic, shallot and mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and browned, about 4 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
5. Whisk in remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
6. Gradually whisk in chicken stock and thyme. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in parsley; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Return chicken to the skillet.
7. Serve immediately.

Skinnytaste Meal Plan (January 20-January 26)

A free 7-day flexible weight loss meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and updated WW Smart Points.

Meal Plan

How is the weather where you are this week? It is pretty chilly here!  On this week’s plan we have the Classic Potato Leek Soup but another favorite of mine is the Beef, Tomato and Acini di Pepe Soup. Of course you can check out all my soup recipes and see which one is your favorite! I love to end a cold day with a warm bowl of soup!

WW has changed their plan to now include a Blue, Purple and Green Plan. All the recipes on my blog are updated for the Blue plan. I’ve been updating all my recipes (over 2000) and have completed 2019 with the other two colors, and I am working my way down so please be patient.

Why Should Everyone Meal Plan?

Meal planning is a great way to organize your meals for the week ahead. You also save time and money in the supermarket! And of course, planning ahead helps you stick to your goals!

About The Meal Plan

If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.

There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.

Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing! If you wish to get on the email list, you can subscribe here so you never miss a meal plan!

Also, if you don’t have the Skinnytaste Meal Planner, now would be a great time to get one to get organized for 2019! There was a print error last year, but it’s perfect now! You can order it here!

THE DETAILS:

Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated WW Blue SP for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!

The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.

And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!
