Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season them evenly with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and add the fresh thyme leaves.
Step 6
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), about 25-30 minutes.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top. Serve hot, spooning sauce over the chicken as desired.
