Preparation and Sautéing
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and brown on both sides.

- Add the mushrooms and cook until lightly browned.
Cooking

Notes
For a healthier version, use skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts. If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes to reduce. You can add a splash of heavy cream for a richer texture.
