1
Bring the chicken thighs to room temperature from the refrigerator, which takes about 30 minutes.
2
Rinse the chicken thighs and pat them dry. Season both sides generously with kosher salt and black pepper.
3
Heat a cast-iron skillet on a medium-high flame. Add the ghee and butter, let it melt to lightly coat the skillet.
4
Place the chicken thighs skin side down on the pan and sear for about 7-8 minutes until the skin turns crispy and golden brown.
5
Flip the chicken thighs and cook for another 7-8 minutes. Ensure that the thickest part of the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature (165°F readings on a cooking thermometer). Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
6
In the same skillet, add the sliced garlic cloves and stir until they become fragrant.
7
Add the halved cremini mushrooms, saute until softened.
8
Pour in the chicken broth, thyme leaves, and garlic powder to the mushroom and garlic mixture. Let it simmer for about 3 minutes until the liquid reduces a bit.
9
Pour in the cream, stir well, and let the sauce reduce further for about 1-2 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with kosher salt and black pepper as necessary.
10
Place the cooked chicken thighs skin-side up back into the skillet, allowing them to warm up and absorb the sauce for about a minute.

Your Creamy Mushroom-Garlic Chicken Skillet is ready to serve. Enjoy while steaming hot!
