Ingredients:
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 cup stout beer (e.g., Irish stout)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large oven-proof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for an additional 5 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, stout beer, minced garlic, and thyme.
- Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken and mushrooms, ensuring that they are evenly coated.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Before serving, sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for a burst of color and flavor.
