Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter.
Once the butter has melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to deglaze the skillet and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom.
Add the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Stir in rosemary and thyme, allowing the sauce to simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes.
Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat the chicken through.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
