Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 6 boneless chicken thighs (about 1½ pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the Creamy Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small shallot, finely minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels to help them crisp up when seared. In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub evenly over the chicken.
- Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 5 minutes until golden. Flip and cook another 8–10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté shallots and garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in chicken broth, lemon juice, thyme sprigs, and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to low.
- Add heavy cream and simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
- You can adjust the seasonings in the sauce to suit your taste preferences.
