- Season the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them well with the seasoning.
- Arrange in a Baking Dish: Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a large baking dish. Scatter the sliced mushrooms and onions around the chicken.
