Ingredients
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Parsley, fresh, chopped
- 1/2 cup Low sodium Chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- First, season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Make sure to coat them evenly for the best flavor.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. This combination creates a wonderful base for cooking the chicken.
- Next, add the seasoned chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook until they’re beautifully browned and crispy, which should take about 6-7 minutes.
- Carefully flip the chicken thighs to cook the other side and add the minced garlic. Allow it to cook for another 2 minutes, letting the garlic infuse the oil.
- Pour in the low sodium chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. This step helps to deglaze the pan and adds flavor.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, mixing thoroughly until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Toss in fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Serve hot, drizzling that luscious creamy garlic sauce generously over the chicken.
Notes
For the best results, choose bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for more flavor and moisture. Consider adding lemon juice for extra brightness.
