Braised Chicken Thighs and Button Mushrooms
Adapted from Emeril Lagasse
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon Essence, recipe in link above
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 16 ounces button mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sliced yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups dark chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 pound of bowtie pasta
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Set a 10-inch, straight-sided saute pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Season the chicken thighs with the Essence, salt and pepper. Place the chicken, skin side down in the pan and sear until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the chicken over and sear on the second side for another 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pan and add the butter and mushrooms.
Saute the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until browned and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onions and garlic to the pan and saute for 3 to 4 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour into the pan
and cook, stirring often to make a light brown roux, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, stock to the pan and stir.
Add the rosemary to the pan,
bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pan, skin side down and cook the chicken for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook until the meat is very tender, about 30 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the chicken over pasta and garnish with the chopped parsley.

I agree with what Fuat Gencal said!!
Seriously, this looks yummy!
This looks like my type of comfort meal! I bet this would also go great with mashed potatoes (my ultimate comfort food!)
This delicious dish...AND a new baby? Wow you go girl!
Happiness your way!
Perfect and easy! ~LeslieMichele
Made this last night and really enjoyed. I used boneless, skinless breasts and portabello mushrooms instead of button. Also made mashed potatoes instead of pasta, but definitely a winning meal.
