Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups cooked white rice or egg noodles (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Stir in the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and combined.
Place the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Sprinkle dried parsley over the top for added flavor.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the sauce is bubbly.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the Goopey Chicken over cooked white rice or egg noodles, spooning extra sauce over the top.
