Steps

1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the chicken thighs, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms, cooking until soft, about 5 minutes.
