Heat a medium pan or skillet and cover the bottom with olive oil.

Add thyme branches and smashed garlic to the pan.

Add potatoes to the pan and brown for a couple of minutes on each side, flipping them around.

Remove browned potatoes to a plate.

Add more olive oil to the pan if needed, then add chicken, onions, and mushrooms.

Cook chicken, onions, and mushrooms for a couple of minutes on both sides.

Remove chicken, onions, and mushrooms from heat.

Keep the pan on medium heat and add heavy cream and a little bit of water.

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and add the bay leaf.

Allow the cream mixture to bubble up.

Add back the chicken, potatoes, mushrooms, and everything else to the pan.

Carefully transfer to the oven, ensuring not to spill the liquid sauce.

Once baked, if the sauce is not thick enough, remove everything from the pan and return the pan to heat.
