Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Sauté onions and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add carrots and mushrooms, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Season chicken with salt and black pepper, then brown in the skillet for 4-5 minutes per side.

Remove chicken and set aside; add potatoes to the skillet, stirring for 2 minutes.

Pour in white wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits.

Return chicken to the skillet, add thyme and bay leaves, and bring to a simmer.

Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and cover with foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.

Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to brown the top.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
