  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry, season them evenly with onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, cracked pepper, and paprika. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for about 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, add butter, then sauté the sliced mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until tender. Stir in garlic, parsley, thyme, and rosemary for 1 minute.
  4. Add the dry white wine or chicken broth, simmer for 5-7 minutes until the liquid reduces and thickens.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, coating with the mushroom sauce. Let simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Garnish with parsley and serve warm over rice, pasta, or low-carb alternatives.
