Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 pieces medium onions, thinly sliced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Step 3
Add the thinly sliced onions to the skillet and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized. If the onions start to burn, reduce the heat and add a splash of water.
Step 4
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Step 5
Push the onions and garlic to the sides of the skillet and add the chicken thighs to the center. Cook the chicken for 5 minutes on each side until browned.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle with fresh thyme. Stir well, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the cover, increase the heat to medium, and add the heavy cream. Stir to combine, and let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 9
Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the chicken with caramelized onions and sauce spooned over top. Enjoy!
