Chicken Thighs with Mushrooms Recipe

Looking for a tasty chicken dish to make tonight? Give this chicken thighs with mushrooms recipe a shot. We have juicy, flavorful chicken thighs cooked with plump mushrooms and served with buttery mashed potatoes for a filling and satisfying meal.

Main Ingredients

Here are our list of wholesome ingredients for making honey soy chicken thighs:

• Chicken

Our recipe calls for skinless bone-in chicken thighs. If they’re not sold at your supermarket, you can get skin-on bone-in thighs then skin them at home. You can also leave the skin as is if you want more flavors, but we want to keep the saturated fat and calories low

For seasoning, we use a dry rub that includes salt, ground black pepper, paprika, cajun seasoning, and garlic powder.

Save

• Mushroom

We chose white mushrooms for their wonderful juiciness, firmness, and mild earthy taste. When cooked, a delicious umami flavor develops, which pairs perfectly well with the savory meat.

• Potatoes

Mashed potatoes make an excellent choice of carb. Simply put together microwaved potatoes, butter, salt, and chopped parsley and mash them with a fork until they reach your desired consistency.

Are Chicken Thighs with Mushrooms Healthy?

Yes, they are.

Thanks to the chicken, our dish contains an impressive amount of protein, with nearly 40 grams for each serving. We also remove the skin to lower the calories content and to give it a lean profile.

On top of that, adding mushrooms and potatoes ensures a healthy boost of fiber and other essential vitamins and minerals.

Lastly, we have carefully estimated the ingredient so that the dish’s nutritional values follow the 2020 – 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In each serving, there are 477 calories, 6.6 g saturated fats, and 568 mg sodium.
