Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season them on both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Let the broth reduce slightly for about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and chopped rosemary. Allow the sauce to simmer gently, stirring often, until it thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the chicken cook for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Just before serving, squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve the Fabulous Chicken with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread, to soak up the delicious sauce.
