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.

The food in the picture is sweet glutinous rice dumplings w/ black sesame 落湯糍(糯米糍). The word “糍” sounds similar to “錢”, so the dumplings represent money. Eating them will bring you lots of wealth! 

The dumplings are chewy & gooey like mochi. Coated in black sesame seeds. Right before eating, dip them in sugar. Perfect sweet treat for the new year!

We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! T We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! Their soft serve is creamy, yet not too sweet. Lots of choices too, like ube, matcha, black sesame etc. The taiyaki is crispy on the outside & filled w/ goodness, like Nutella, red bean & custard. My only wish is that they open a store in the San Gabriel Valley, so we don’t have to travel far every time!😆

2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much bette 2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much better year for me personally. We traveled a bit more (Denver, Monterey, Maine, & Boston) & ate lots of incredible food. I’m drooling just thinking about some of the food. Also, my parents flew in from HK. We finally got to see each other after 3 years. We spent time together & attended my sister’s wedding. And we all finally got covid. It’s looking like things are getting back to normal. I truly hope it is!

Galbi mandu (dumpling) from Chang Hwa Dang (CHD) a Galbi mandu (dumpling) from Chang Hwa Dang (CHD) are so damn GOOD! 🥟 Smokey, little sweet, meaty, & crispy skin. I could eat a few plates of those! We first tried the sampler, but was most impressed by the galbi ones. We like the pork too, but the jalapeño one was way too spicy for my taste. It actually has half of a jalapeño in it.🔥
