Instructions

Step 1
Start by heating some olive oil in a nonstick pot over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs along with Italian seasoning and garlic, cooking until the chicken turns golden brown on both sides—this should take about 5 minutes per side. Then, toss in the mushrooms and tomatoes, lower the heat, cover the pot, and let everything simmer gently until the mushrooms are soft, which usually takes around 30 minutes.

Step 2
While that’s cooking, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish. Once the chicken and veggies are ready, carefully drain the juices into a separate saucepan, then transfer the chicken mixture into the baking dish.

Step 3
Pour the white wine into the saucepan with the reserved juices and bring it to a boil. Stir in the cream and Gruyere cheese, cooking until the cheese has melted and the sauce is nice and smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until it dissolves, then whisk this into the sauce to help it thicken.

Step 4
Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken and vegetables, then sprinkle the top with sliced onions. Pop the dish into the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through—this should take about 30 minutes. To be sure, check that the internal temperature near the bone reads 165°F (74°C).

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat to keep the sauce creamy and prevent the chicken from drying out.
