- 4 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 lb baby bella mushrooms, sliced thick
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, roughly chopped
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 2 tbsp arrowroot starch
- 1 tsp salt

## Instructions

1. Slice the baby bella mushrooms and dice the onion.
2. Mince the garlic.
3. Roughly chop the fresh thyme leaves.
4. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes, then add 1-2 tablespoons of avocado oil.
6. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
7. Remove the chicken thighs from the skillet and set aside.
8. Add 2 more tablespoons of avocado oil to the same skillet.
9. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced onions to the skillet, spreading them out, and cook for about 7 minutes, stirring infrequently, until the onions are softened and the mushrooms are mostly golden.
10. Stir in the minced garlic, fresh thyme, and 1 teaspoon of salt, and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
11. Combine 3/4 of the chicken broth and tamari in a glass or bowl and pour it over the mushrooms, stirring to deglaze any bits stuck to the bottom.
12. Add the arrowroot starch to the remaining broth and tamari, and whisk until no lumps remain.
13. Pour the starch mixture over the mushrooms and stir to combine.
14. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes while the mushroom gravy thickens.
15. Add the browned chicken thighs back into the skillet with the mushroom gravy.
16. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 10 more minutes.
17. Serve the skillet chicken with mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes or your preferred side, and garnish with parsley.
