- Sauté Mushrooms & Garlic: To the same skillet (discarding any burnt bits if necessary), add the mushrooms and minced garlic. Add an extra tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Sauté on medium heat for about 2 minutes, until the mushrooms have softened.
- Simmer Chicken: Add the chicken stock to the skillet, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in ¼ teaspoon of salt. Place the chicken legs back into the skillet. Bring the chicken stock to a boil, cover the skillet, and reduce the heat to a low-medium simmer. Simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Make the Cream Sauce: Remove the cooked chicken legs to a plate and keep them warm. Turn the heat under the skillet to medium-high and simmer the mushroom sauce for about 4 minutes until it has reduced by about a third. Stir in the ½ cup of heavy cream and simmer for another 2 minutes on low-medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce gets thicker.
- Serve: Add the chicken legs back to the skillet to warm them up in the sauce before serving.
