Super EASY Chicken Thigh Mushroom Casserole Recipe. I like to serve this Chicken Thigh Casserole with buckwheat or quinoa & Tomato Salad. The best meal!
Using non-stick skillet, add 1 tablespoon of oil on medium high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and cook 5 minutes on one side and 3 minutes on the other side, or until browned color and no more than 10 minutes.
Repeat this step with the rest of the chicken thighs. Transfer cooked chicken onto a casserole dish, make sure to leave some oil in the skillet to make Creamy Garlic Sauce.
How to make Creamy Garlic Sauce for Chicken Casserole:
Drop 5 finely chopped garlic pieces into the skillet, cook on medium heat for about 1-2 minutes. Now add flour and cook stirring for 1 minute.
Slowly pour in white wine, whisking continuously until flour is dissolves, bring it to a gentle boil. Pour in chicken broth and add fresh thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook on low heat until sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes, stirring few times. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, stir until it melts. The sauce is ready!
Onto the same casserole with chicken thighs add sliced mushrooms, pour the hot Creamy Garlic Sauce over the chicken thighs, bake for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is cooked thru and reaches the temperature of 165 degrees.
Garnish with fresh thyme. Enjoy!
