Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them on both sides with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 6-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 4 minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken stock and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the stock simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
