Heat a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken thighs, skin-side down. Pan-fry for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy and the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.

Reduce the heat to medium. In the same pan, retaining the flavorful drippings, add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the chopped white parts of the green onions, sliced cremini mushrooms, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have softened and the aromatics are fragrant.

Pour in the chicken stock and heavy cream into the pan. Add the miso paste and stir well until the miso paste is fully dissolved and incorporated into the liquid. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Return the pan-fried chicken pieces to the simmering sauce, nestling them into the mushrooms and liquid. Continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the chicken to finish cooking through and absorb the flavors of the creamy sauce. You can cover the pan during this step if desired.
