Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl. Add olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the chicken is fully coated.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 5
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, cover, and cook for another 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Step 6
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
