Description

A deliciously simple recipe for juicy chicken thighs coated in a rich garlic cream sauce, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • Boneless chicken thighs (4-6)
  • Garlic (4-5 cloves, minced)
  • Heavy cream (1 cup)
  • Chicken broth (1/2 cup)
  • Olive oil (for searing)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, enough to coat the bottom.
  2. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  3. Set the chicken aside on a plate.
  4. Sauté minced garlic in the same skillet for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
  6. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet and let them simmer until cooked through and the sauce thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For best results, do not rush the searing and keep an eye on the garlic to avoid burning.
