Lemon Mushroom Chicken Thighs with Gravy
Serves: 4.
 
Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken thighs
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp Mrs Dash Chicken Grilling Seasoning blend
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 Tbsp dried rosemary
  • 1 Tbsp Mrs Dash Garlic Herb Seasoning blend
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 4 oz sliced fresh mushrooms OR no-salt-added canned mushroom slices, drained
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/16 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/16 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried lemon peel
  • 2 Tbsp corn starch
  • 1 cup no-salt chicken stock
Instructions
  1. Combine ¼ cup lemon juice, Mrs Dash Chicken Grilling Seasoning, oregano, rosemary, and Mrs Dash Garlic Herb Seasoning in a large bowl. Add chicken and stir in just enough water to cover the chicken. Cover the bowl. and refrigerate chicken 4 hours or up to overnight to allow it to marinate.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  3. Remove the marinating chicken from the refrigerator. Drain and discard the lemon juice marinade. Heat a skillet to medium. Melt butter and olive oil. Add mushrooms, remaining lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried lemon peel to the skillet. Cook and stir 5- 7 minutes if you are using fresh mushrooms, or 3 minutes if you are using canned, drained mushrooms.
  4. Stir the cornstarch into the chicken stock and stir until the cornstarch is completely blended. Pour the chicken stock mixture into the skillet. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes so the gravy can thicken.
  5. Place the chicken into a casserole dish. Pour the mushroom gravy over the chicken. Cover and bake in preheated oven until completely cooked (no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 40-50 minutes.)
  6. Serve the chicken with the gravy poured over it. Note: this will make more than a cup of gravy; you may want to serve the remainder over rice or save it for use as a base for a savory soup.
