KETO CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CREAMY MUSHROOMS SAUCE
This recipe becomes regular on my weeknight menu. Around here chicken makes a regular appearance on the dinner table. My family never get tired of chicken. To tell you the truth, it gets a little boring after a while – so I’m always looking for new recipes of grilled chicken, baked chicken, sautéed chicken… Make it once and see for yourself.
I used skinless and boneless chicken thighs in this chicken skillet recipe because they are the most flavorful part of the chicken. A boneless chicken thigh gives you the same ease of cooking as a boneless chicken breast and less of a chance of drying out. Besides, chicken thighs are very juicy and tender.

INSTRUCTIONS
Chicken Thighs
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towel and trim off excess fat. Season the chicken thighs with lemon juice salt. Let it absorb the lemon juice for 15 minutes.
Combine the garlic cloves, thyme, rosemary, and pepper.
Coat the chicken evenly with the combined seasoning.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken thighs in batches until browned on each side and no longer pink in centre (about 8 minutes each side, depending on thickness).
Transfer to a plate; set aside and keep warm.
Creamy Mushrooms Sauce
On the same pan or skillet, put the olive oil and add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook until soft (about 3 minutes).
Add the garlic, parsley, thyme and rosemary; sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Stir in cream, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and continue cooking until sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in the parmesan cheese and allow it to melt through the sauce for a further 4 minutes, while occasionally stirring.
Return chicken to the pan. Taste test and season with salt and pepper to your taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
