Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs, skin-on and bone-in
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the thighs and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, and chicken broth. Mix well until the sauce is smooth.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, and spoon some sauce over each thigh.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the chicken before serving.
Serve hot, spooning additional sauce over the chicken as desired.
