Steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet, browning them on both sides for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the chopped shallots and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until softened.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until they are tender.
5. Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze.
6. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, chicken broth, and chopped thyme. Stir to combine.
