Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and sear them in the skillet, skin-side down, until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
- Flip the chicken thighs and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze, then add the heavy cream and Italian herbs. Stir until combined and bring to a simmer.
- Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, and cover. Cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your creamy goodness with steamed vegetables or a side salad.
