Ingredients

For Chicken

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs boneless and skinless
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper or to taste
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

For Mushrooms

  • 1 tablespoon parsley chopped

Instructions

  • In a small bowl whisk together the onion powder, mustard powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
  • Pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels then season with the dry rub generously on all sides.
  • Heat the 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet then add the chicken thighs and sear on both sides until no longer pink, about 8 min per side. Might have to do in batches. Transfer the chiken thighs to a plate.
  • In the same skillet add the 2 tbsp of butter and melt. Add the sliced mushrooms, and saute for about 3 to 5 minutes until the mushrooms soften and start to brown. Add the garlic, salt, pepper and stir everything together. Cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic.
  • Return the chicken back to the skillet. Top each chicken thigh with mushrooms, garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. Leftovers should be kept in an airtight container and refrigerated for about 3-4 days. To reheat, you can pop it in the microwave or oven until it is heated through. Remember, cooked chicken should only be reheated once!
  2. You can also freeze your leftover chicken for 2–6 months.
