Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 medium carrots (chopped)
- 3 medium potatoes (cubed)
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Rub the seasonings evenly over the chicken.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for another 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic. Stir well to form a roux and cook for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Add the heavy cream, dried thyme, chopped carrots, and potatoes to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, ensuring they are partially submerged in the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the Home Style Chicken hot with crusty bread or over rice for a hearty and satisfying meal.
