Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 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
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with the salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes, until golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and stir to form a roux. Cook for 1 minute, then slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to break up any lumps. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the heavy cream, fresh parsley, and thyme. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, ensuring they are partially submerged in the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender (internal temperature of 165°F).
Remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken rest in the sauce for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken with a generous spoonful of sauce over rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
