Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Creamy Garlic Sauce

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Season and Sear Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the hot oil and sear for 7-8 minutes or until the skin is deeply golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Prepare Garlic Sauce Base: Lower the heat to medium. Add unsalted butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from burning and to release its aroma.
  3. Add Liquids and Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth while scraping up any browned bits stuck to the pan for added flavor. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5-7 minutes or until it slightly thickens.
  4. Simmer Chicken in Sauce: Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up, allowing them to soak in the creamy garlic sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 15-18 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is cooked through.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the chicken thighs. Spoon the creamy garlic sauce over each piece before serving to maximize flavor. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • For crispier skin, avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure the oil is hot before adding chicken.
  • You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a slightly different flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning at the end according to taste.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
