Ingredients
Method
- Dry the chicken thighs with paper towels, season well with salt and pepper on both sides and lightly dust with flour.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat and place the chicken thighs, smooth side down. Cook for 7 minutes (turn heat down if browning too fast) then flip and cook for a further 5 minutes or until cooked through. Set aside, loosely wrapped in aluminium foil.
- In the same skillet add the butter and another drizzle of olive oil if pan is dry and add the mushrooms, toss well.
- Lower to a medium heat and leave the mushrooms pretty undisturbed for 5 - 7 minutes until golden brown, turning once.
- Add the garlic and rosemary, toss and cook for a minute.
- Add the wine and let it reduce for 2 - 3 mins. A gentle simmer.
- Add the cream, mix well and bring to a gentle simmer, adjust the heat if you need, it should not be boiling.
- Push the mushrooms to one side and add the parmesan in two separate lots, stirring and letting it melt into the cream between additions.
- Add the black pepper, salt and lemon juice and mix in quickly. I like a flat whisk for this.
- Cut the chicken into strips and add it along with your cooked pasta into sauce. Mix well and let it gently bubble away for 1 - 2 minutes. It will continue to thicken off the heat so don't worry if it seems too saucy.
- Add the chopped parsley, mix through and serve.
