    Ingredients

    • 4-8 boneless, skinless organic chicken thighs;
    • 2 cups chicken broth;
    • 3 tbs. garlic (minced);
    • 1 tsp. red pepper flakes;
    • 4 tbs. olive oil;
    • 16oz. baby bella mushrooms (sliced);

    PREPARATION

    1. Pat dry chicken thighs with paper towel and season salt, pepper, and garlic powder (season to your liking);

    5. Add chicken stock and heavy cream;
    6. Bring sauce to a simmer and add 2 tablespoons of corn starch. Stir until the sauce begins to thicken, add more corn starch is needed to reach your desired thickness;
    7. Add the chicken thighs back to the sauce for 10-15 minutes until chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165°;
