Season the chicken thighs with 1 tablespoon of Lawry's seasoned salt, 1 teaspoon each of garlic and onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon of poultry seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and season both sides.

In a skillet on medium to medium-high heat, add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and place the chicken thighs skin side down.

Cook the chicken for about 4 to 5 minutes until the skin forms a nice golden crust, then flip and cook for an additional couple of minutes.

Place the chicken in a preheated 375 degree Fahrenheit oven for 30 to 40 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

Remove the chicken from the oven and the pan, cover, and set aside. Leave about 2 tablespoons of fat in the pan and scoop out the rest.

Add 1 large finely diced onion (about 1.5 cups) to the pan on medium heat and cook until the onions sweat down and deglaze the pan.

Add 1 pound each of sliced button mushrooms and Bella mushrooms to the pan, cooking and stirring for about 5 to 7 minutes until the mushrooms release moisture.

Add 4 large cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of rosemary, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook and stir for 1 minute.

Add 1 tablespoon of flour to the mushroom mixture, cooking and stirring for 1 to 2 minutes until the flour is absorbed.

Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of half-and-half, stirring well. Add 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard for flavor.

Taste for seasonings and turn the heat up to bring to a simmer. Cook on low simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until the gravy reduces and thickens.

Turn off the heat and stir in a handful of fresh chopped parsley, a little more black pepper, and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.

Add the chicken pieces back into the pan, basting with the garlic mushroom gravy, and heat the chicken through before serving.
