Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Whisk together 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and seasoned salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then dredge each thigh in the flour mixture.
  2. In a large, ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the dredged chicken thighs skin-side down for 8-9 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes.
  3. Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Saute 1 diced white onion, 2 sliced carrots, and 1 cup of sliced mushrooms for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the mixture, stirring for 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in 1 cup of dry white wine and stir in 1 cup of chicken broth. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet and bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes.
  7. Stir in ½ cup of heavy cream and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh thyme before serving.
