Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the broth simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme, and lemon juice. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley over the dish, stirring gently to combine. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or alongside crusty bread to soak up the sauce. Enjoy!
