Instructions

1. Heat oven to 425°F. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season well with salt and black pepper. Trim the asparagus, slice the mushrooms, thinly slice the onion, mince the garlic, and zest the lemon.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs 4 to 5 minutes on the first side until deeply browned. Flip and cook 2 minutes more, then transfer to a plate.
3. Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Cook the onion 3 minutes, then add the mushrooms and cook 5 minutes until browned. Stir in the garlic and thyme for 30 seconds.
4. Pour in the broth and scrape up the browned bits. Simmer 2 minutes, then nestle the chicken back into the pan. Scatter the asparagus around it.
5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast 12 to 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the asparagus is just tender.
6. Remove from the oven. Transfer chicken and asparagus to plates. Stir butter, lemon zest, and a squeeze of lemon juice into the mushroom sauce.
7. Spoon the mushroom sauce under and around the chicken for a restaurant-style presentation, with the asparagus lined up alongside.
