Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 cups cooked white rice or egg noodles (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

Dredge each chicken thigh in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 3

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the hot skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the skin is golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, stir in the heavy cream, and mix until smooth.

Step 9

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.

Step 10

Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 11

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Stir in the chopped parsley right before serving.

Step 12

Serve Grandma's Rushin' Chicken over a bed of cooked white rice or egg noodles to soak up the creamy sauce.
