Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring all sides are well coated.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side down, and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Flip the chicken thighs and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Add the chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine and to deglaze the bottom of the pan.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently to mix.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the chicken for garnish before serving.
