Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season them evenly with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and add the fresh thyme leaves.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), about 25-30 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top. Serve hot, spooning sauce over the chicken as desired.
