- Simmer the chicken legs for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is completely cooked through, and the juices run clear when the chicken is cut in the middle.
- 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 is reduced by about a third.
- Stir in the 1/2 cup of heavy cream into the mushroom sauce and simmer for another 2 minutes on low-medium heat, constantly stirring and scraping from the bottom of the skillet, until the sauce thickens.
- Add the chicken legs back to the skillet to warm them up.
Serve your baked chicken legs with creamy mushroom sauce hot and enjoy this delicious homemade meal!
