Remove the bones from the chicken thighs by cutting around the bone and pulling it out.

Heat olive oil and a little butter in a skillet.

Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper.

Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes until golden and fully cooked through.

Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest.

In the same skillet, add chopped shallot and sauté for 2 minutes.

Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add mushrooms with a pinch of salt and cook for 5-7 minutes.

Pour in heavy cream and let it start to bubble.

Stir in Parmesan cheese or Mozzarella until it turns into a thick, creamy cheese sauce.

Return the chicken to the skillet and let it warm for a few minutes.

Sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving.
