Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Deglaze the pan by pouring in the white wine. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the chicken broth and add the thyme sprigs to the skillet.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let simmer for 20 minutes, basting the chicken occasionally with the sauce.
Remove the lid and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to simmer uncovered for another 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Discard the thyme sprigs and garnish with chopped parsley just before serving.
Serve the chicken hot with the sauce spooned over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
