Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle seasoning over the chicken evenly.
Heat oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Place the chicken in a hot skillet (I use cast iron) and sear for about 7-8 minutes. Flip and cook another 7-8 minutes or until chicken is 165 degrees and juices run clear. Remove chicken to a plate and keep warm.
Add the butter to the skillet and mushrooms. season with salt and pepper and saute for about 3 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant for about another minute.

Notes

The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size and thickness of your chicken thighs. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165F before consuming.
Boneless chicken breasts can also be used I recommend slicing them so they are thinner. Chicken tenders will also work.
