Chicken & Garlic Cream Sauce...

[Gonna Smoke]

...with mushrooms, too. I know many of you don't care for shrooms...

Life has been busy and it's been awhile since I've posted a cook, but it's also been awhile since I've cooked.

Anyway, yesterday I promised Sheila I would cook something for supper, not knowing what. Quick glance through the ads and Aldi has B/S thighs on sale. So after a quick search through my recipes, I settled on this one mostly because it's things Sheila loves. Well here we go...

Here's the ingredients...

• 10 chicken B/S thighs. The pack I bought only had 8
• 4 teaspoons olive oil, but who really measures
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 10 cloves garlic, finely diced. This is basically a whole bulb
• 2 small yellow onion, diced. I used 1 large one
• 2/3 cup unsalted chicken broth. There again, who really measures...
• 10 ounces jarred sun-dried tomato in oil, drained of oil
• 2 3/4 cups heavy cream. I used ½&½
• Salt and pepper
• 6 cups mushrooms, sliced. I used two 8 ounce cartons of whole and sliced them myself
• 2 cups grated Parmesan

Season the thighs with coarse salt and coarse fresh cracked pepper...

Pan fried the thighs in EVOO until browned on both sides and cooked through...

Next add the butter and the mushrooms. Cook until golden brown on all sides. Then add the garlic and cook for maybe a minute at most or just until you smell it...

Add in the onions and cook until they become clear...

Time for the tomatoes. Cook them for just a minute or so to release their flavor...

Add the chicken broth and allow to reduce. Then add the cream or in this case the ½&½. Allow to simmer and get thicker. Then add in the parmesan and taste for salt and pepper...

Add the thighs back in and spoon some of the sauce over them...

I served this over eggshell pasta with fresh steamed broccoli and homemade cheese sauce along with fresh cantaloupe and watermelon. Time to eat...

I think this would be great with grilled thighs, but time was short...

Nice. Love the addition of the sun-dried tomatoes. I was wondering where the cantaloupe was coming in!

BAM! That looks like something I’d cook for my wife. I’ve made very similar (heavy cream and white wine though) the flavors are very good. Nice work.

It was good for sure. This can be served over rice, but the shells hold the sauce. We love shirataki and it is much healthier. Thanks Jeff...

Thanks Ken! Local cantaloupe is showing up at the farmer's market and it's amazing...

Thank you Eric. I like the white wine idea, would definitely compliment the dish...
