Cooking steps
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs, skin side down, and sear until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip the thighs and sear for an additional 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add button mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they start to brown, about 5 minutes.
Pour in white wine and cook for 2 minutes until the alcohol evaporates.
Stir in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin side up.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken thighs are cooked through.
Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the chicken thighs to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
Place the skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Stir in heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the chicken thighs with the mushroom sauce, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
For a side dish, serve with your choice of rice, pasta, potatoes, or greens.

Cooking a new dish
Starting to cook a new dish begins with selecting a recipe that matches your skill level and gathering all the necessary ingredients. Before diving in, read through the entire recipe to understand the steps and timing involved. Next, prepare your workspace by cleaning the countertops, organizing your tools, and setting out ingredients. Prepping the ingredients—such as washing, chopping, and measuring—is key to ensuring a smooth cooking process. As you cook, follow the recipe step by step, taking your time and tasting along the way to adjust flavors. Finally, serve the dish with care and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Preparing your workspace correctly
Preparing your workspace involves starting with clean countertops, organizing your tools and equipment, and setting out all the necessary ingredients within reach. Arrange your tools, like knives, cutting boards, and measuring cups, close by for easy access, and pre-measure ingredients if possible to save time during cooking. It's helpful to have a trash bowl for food scraps to keep the area tidy. Ensure your workspace is well-lit and free of unnecessary items to maximize space. If your recipe requires it, preheat the oven or pans while organizing your space. Having a clean and organized workspace makes the cooking process more efficient and enjoyable.
Preparing your ingredients in advance
Prepping ingredients, or "mise en place," involves getting everything ready before cooking. This includes washing and chopping vegetables, measuring out ingredients, and preparing items like garlic, onions, or meat as required by the recipe. You might also marinate, soften, or melt ingredients if needed. Once prepped, arrange everything in small bowls or containers for easy access during cooking. This preparation helps streamline the cooking process and ensures you can focus on cooking without interruptions.
