Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the white wine and chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.
4
Add the browned chicken back to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the top. Simmer the chicken in the sauce for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
