Calories: 725kcal
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs bone-in and skin on
- 3 tbsp olive oil divided
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 lb ground hot Italian sausage casings removed
- 8 oz white mushrooms quartered
- 2 tbsp Italian Seasoning such as Spiceology Greek Freak
- 15 oz coconut milk
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves only
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley optional
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Place them skin-side down and sear until the skin is crisp and golden, about 6-8 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sausage. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook until browned and slightly crisp. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant.
- Pour in the coconut milk, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Stir in the Italian seasoning and fresh thyme. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Nestle the chicken thighs and sausage back into the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon some of the sauce over the top. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Sprinkle with extra thyme or chopped parsley for garnish. Serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or warm bread to soak up every drop of sauce.
