Rosemary Garlic Chicken

After a week of failed recipes, I am elated to announce, we have another winner!!! 

We have had quite the busy week, between doctor appointments, family gatherings, a day at the zoo, and the gym, I have been throwing together quick meals, that haven't always been successful. Last night required another speedy meal to be cooked and assembled in less than 30 minutes, so that we could make it to the gym before child care closed. Like most nights, I didn't know what I was making until I started cooking. I grabbed the chicken thighs that were sitting in the fridge, gave them a quick tossed in some olive oil, rosemary, and garlic and this tasty dish evolved!

Ingredients:

4lbs chicken thighs (8-10 thighs)

1/2 cup olive oil + 2Tbsp for cooking

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 Tbsp dried rosemary (or 2 Tbsp fresh rosemary)

1 tsp salt

16oz mushrooms, sliced

1 medium sweet onion, diced

Recipe:

Toss chicken thighs in 1/2 cup olive oil, minced garlic, and rosemary. Season with salt.

In a large skillet, over medium high heat, melt butter in remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil.

Place chicken thighs in the prepared skillet, bone side up. (You can debone the thighs first to speed up cooking time.)

Cook thighs until the skin is browned and crispy, about 10 minutes.

Flip thighs and cook until done, about 15 minutes.

Remove thighs from skillet. Add onions and mushrooms, sauté until done, about 5 minutes.

Serve sautéed mushrooms and onions over chicken thighs.

I made mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli to accompany mine... My husband and the kids ate every, last, bite!

Enjoy!!!
