Ingredients
- 6 bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Season the Chicken
- Pat the chicken thighs dry using paper towels. Season them with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Sear the Chicken
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and cook until golden brown.
Flip and Finish Searing
- Turn the chicken and cook the other side. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
Make the Garlic Base
- Add butter to the same pan. Add minced garlic and cook gently until fragrant but not browned.
Add Liquids
- Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well and scrape the pan to release flavor bits.
Season the Sauce
- Add thyme, oregano and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thick.
Return Chicken to Pan
- Place chicken thighs back into the sauce. Spoon sauce over the chicken gently.
Simmer Until Done
- Cover the pan and simmer for 15 minutes. Chicken should cook fully and stay juicy.
Garnish and Rest
- Sprinkle fresh parsley on top. Let the chicken rest for five minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use bone-in thighs for better flavor.
- Do not burn the garlic while cooking.
- Keep heat medium to avoid curdling cream.
- Add extra broth if sauce becomes too thick.
- Taste sauce before serving and adjust salt.
