Braised Chicken Thighs with Button Mushrooms

May 1, 2013 By Lokness 8 Comments

I like braising dishes. They are always warm and comforting. Even though we are in Spring now, the weather is still slightly cool and the sky is always gloomy in Los Angeles. It sure sounds like a perfect day for some savory tender chicken. No worries. This is not a really heavy dish.

This chicken dish has many different seasonings. I promise you that the chicken will be packed with flavors. And you will be licking your plate clean with that sauce. Don’t forget to cook rice! You will want them. 🙂

Braised Chicken Thighs with Button Mushrooms (Adapted from Emeril Lagasse via Foodnetwork.com)

2 servings

Ingredients:

–   ½ tablespoon olive oil

–   4 chicken thighs

–   2 tablespoons unsalted butter

–   8 ounce button mushrooms (cleaned and thinly sliced)

–   ¾ cup yellow onion (sliced)

–   2 tablespoons minced garlic

–   2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

–   2 tablespoons tomato paste

–   2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

–   2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves (coarsely chopped)

–   1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

–   kosher salt

–   ground black pepper

Seasoning for chicken:

–   ½ teaspoon kosher salt

–   ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper

–   ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

–   ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

–   1/8 teaspoon onion powder

–   1/8 teaspoon dried oregano

–   1/8 teaspoon dried thyme

–   dash of cayenne pepper

Directions:

  1. Season the chicken thighs all the seasoning.
  2. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Place in the chicken (skin side down) and sear until golden brown, about 3 – 4 minutes. Turn the chicken over and sear the other side for another 3 – 4 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add the butter and mushrooms, stirring occasionally. Cook until the mushrooms are browned and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 4 – 5 minutes. Add the onions and garlic and cook for 3 – 4 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to make a roux, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste, chicken broth and rosemary. Stir until smooth with no lumps. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
  4. Place the chicken thighs (skin side down) back into the pan. Cook for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook for another 30 minutes. Skim the excess fat. If necessary, season with salt and pepper. Transfer the chicken and mushroom to serving plates. Top with the parsley. Serve immediately with steamed rice.

    This must have been really tasty judging from the various herbs you used. I really love stews, regardless of the weather. A dollop of yogurt would be the icing on this exquisite stew. I think I’ll be keeping note on the herbs to get tomorrow on grocery day!

    Beautiful dish! I love braised chicken (and yes I’d pick thighs too!) with sauce like this. I’d need two servings of rice as I love eating it with the leftover sauce. This looks simply delicious!

      Thanks Nami! Thighs is definitely much better than breast. More flavors and moist. And yes, I make extra rice for dish like this. So good!

      Thank you so much for the kind words, Peter! It is hard to get a good shot out of chicken thighs. They are not really good looking. Thanks to my husband’s great photography skills. We managed to get some good shots.

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!

This location just opened a couple weeks ago. It’s a luxury to have a bakery like this in the neighborhood. I know I’ll be stopping by there all the time. Thinking about their croissant, lemon tart, brownie & baguette already! @tartinepasadena @tartinebakery
