Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl. Add olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the chicken is fully coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, cover, and cook for another 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
