Combine dried basil, dried oregano, half of the chopped thyme, and garlic powder in a bowl to create your seasoning blend.

Rub the chicken thighs evenly with half of the seasoning mixture and the lemon zest.

Pan-fry the chicken thighs in a greased skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned and thoroughly cooked. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover to keep it warm.

In the same skillet, sauté the sliced mushrooms until they turn golden brown.

Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and remaining seasoning mixture. Stir the mix until well combined.

Gradually stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce boil for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

Return the chicken to the skillet, making sure all pieces are well coated in the creamy sauce. Let it cook in the sauce for a couple of minutes before taking the skillet off the heat.

Garnish the dish with leftover fresh thyme. Serve and enjoy your velvety Lemon-Thyme Cream Chicken.
