Step 2
Prepare the filling: clean the mushrooms, cut into small pieces, place in a bowl, add grated Emmental, egg yolk, grated Parmesan, and breadcrumbs. Season with salt, black pepper, and add 1/2 tsp of chopped fresh thyme leaves. Mix well with a fork, then place 2–3 tablespoons of the filling onto each chicken thigh, close them tightly, and wrap with kitchen twine.

Step 3
In a high-sided skillet, heat the olive oil and butter, then sauté the garlic clove for a few seconds. Add the stuffed chicken thighs and sear on both sides until golden brown. Pour in the wine and let it evaporate. Add the broth, black pepper, and 1-2 thyme sprigs, season with salt, bring to a boil, cover with a lid, and simmer over medium heat for 40 minutes, or until the meat is tender. Halfway through cooking, turn the thighs and baste them occasionally with the cooking juices.
