Ingredients

  • 8 chicken thighs
  • 1 cup celery chopped
  • 8 ounces mushrooms
  • 6 ounces green beans
  • 1 cup carrots
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper

Instructions

  • 1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towel (to reduce oil spits), and season well with the salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Starting skin side down, brown the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • 2. Remove all but 1 tbsp of the chicken fat from the pan. Add the chopped onions, garlic, celery, and carrots. Sautee for 3-4 minutes until softened slightly. Add the mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  • 3. Put the chicken back in the skillet. Add the chopped green beans, chicken stock, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and the internal temperature is 165-F.
  • 4. Remove the lid and add the cream. Bring back to a simmer and let cook for 2-3 minutes with the lid off to condense the flavors. Season with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Serve with your favorite veggies.
