Description

This creamy chicken thigh recipe is a family favorite! I've been making it for years, and it's always a hit. The chicken thighs are coated in cornstarch and pan-fried to golden perfection, then baked in a rich and savory mushroom sauce made with white wine, chicken broth, and a touch of cream. The lemon juice and capers add a bright, tangy counterpoint to the richness of the sauce. It's perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Serve it with rice or mashed potatoes to soak up all that delicious sauce!

Prepare chicken thighs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the ½ cup cornstarch into a shallow bowl and press the 4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs into the cornstarch on all sides until thoroughly coated. Shake off excess cornstarch.

7

Pan-fry chicken thighs

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; pan-fry the chicken thighs until they develop a golden brown crust, about 8 minutes per side. Place the chicken thighs into a 9x9-inch baking dish and pour the sauce over the chicken.

8

Bake chicken

Bake in the preheated oven until the sauce is bubbling and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chicken thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
