🐔 Creamy Keto Chicken Thigh Recipes
One of my favorites of all the chicken thighs recipes on this blog is this one right here! Compared to baked bone-in chicken thighs, boneless chicken thighs cook faster on the stove top.
📖 How to Cook Your Keto Chicken Thighs
Depending on the size of your pan, you should only sear two or three fillets at a time. You shouldn't toss the whole fillet in the pan! You will have pale, tasteless, steam chicken. That's not good.
To achieve such a golden brown color, space between the thighs is needed, which will seal in moisture, making the chicken juicy and delicious.
🍗 Adding the Creamy Sauce for Chicken
This sauce is jam-packed with flavor! Get the best sauce for your chicken by starting with garlic buttery mushrooms! Any type of mushroom is fine, but we use brown (or Cremini) mushrooms.
You most likely have the rest of the ingredients in your kitchen cabinets and refrigerator!
🍄 Ingredient Notes for Mushroom Sauce
Dried Herbs - Using dried herbs is convenient because we usually have jars of seasoning and herbs in our kitchens. If you have fresh, you can use them! Fresh herbs are fine in amounts of two teaspoons each.
Thyme and Rosemary are my favorites, but you can substitute anything you prefer. Try Oregano, Basil, or even Tarragon!
Cream - The use of heavy or thickened cream is usually for lowering carbohydrate/fat intake.
You can use evaporated milk, reduced fat cream or half and half instead if you are counting calories or fat.
You can add ⅓ cup white wine to your mushrooms and cook it down to half before adding your cream for even more flavor.

Creamy Chicken Thighs in Garlic Mushroom Gravy in only 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 3 T. unsalted butter, divided
- 2 lbs. bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 t. garlic powder
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- 8 oz. baby Portobello mushrooms, sliced
- ¾ c. chicken broth
- ¼ c. heavy cream
- 6 oz. cream cheese, cut into chunks
- 2 T. fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Melt two tablespoons butter in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Season chicken thighs with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, to taste, and add to the hot skillet.
2. Brown the chicken thighs on each side, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. The chicken should release easily from the bottom of the skillet when ready.
3. Transfer chicken to a platter and add remaining butter to the skillet. Add the sliced Portobello mushrooms and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms develop some color and start to release their liquids, approximately 4-5 minutes.
4. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and gently scrape up the brown bits from the bottom. Return the chicken thighs and juices that collected on the platter to the skillet.
5. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, approximately 25-30 minutes. Remove pan from heat and transfer the chicken to a platter. Cover and keep warm.
6. To prevent curdling, temper the heavy cream by adding one or two tablespoons of the hot liquid from the skillet to it before adding it to the pan. Add the cream cheese to the skillet and stir until it is thoroughly melted and incorporated into the sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings, as desired.
7. To serve, spoon some of the pan sauce and mushrooms over each chicken thigh and sprinkle with some fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately with your choice of sides. Enjoy!
