Garlic Herb Roasted Chicken with Mushrooms is a one-pan, savory meal featuring juicy, golden‑roasted chicken and tender mushrooms bathed in a fragrant garlic‑herb sauce. It’s hearty, satisfying, and perfect for weeknight dinners or cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 4 bone‑in, skin‑on chicken thighs or drumsticks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1–2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms (cremini, baby bella, or white), halved or sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or dry white wine (optional, for moisture)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine olive oil or butter with minced garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub the garlic‑herb mixture all over the chicken, getting under the skin where possible.
  4. Arrange chicken pieces in a baking dish or oven‑safe skillet. Scatter mushrooms around and under the chicken.
  5. Drizzle a little extra olive oil over everything. Pour chicken broth or wine into the pan if using.
  6. Roast uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until chicken is golden and crisp and reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
  7. During the last 5 minutes, baste the chicken with pan juices and squeeze lemon juice over the top if desired.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Add small potatoes or carrots to the pan for a complete one‑dish meal.
  • Boneless chicken thighs or breasts can be used — reduce cooking time by 10–15 minutes.
  • For a richer sauce, stir in a spoonful of Dijon mustard or a splash of cream into the pan juices after roasting.
  • If mushrooms release a lot of liquid, drain excess before roasting to help the chicken crisp up.
