Rich and Flavorful Creamy Garlic Chicken
Ingredients:
– 6 chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon butter
– 5 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions:
1. Start by seasoning your chicken thighs generously with salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. This will give them a fantastic flavor!
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chicken thighs for about 5-6 minutes per side until they’re beautifully golden and cooked through. Once done, remove the thighs and set them aside.
3. In the same skillet, toss in the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant—your kitchen will smell amazing!
4. Now, pour in the chicken broth, using a spatula to scrape up all those delicious browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
5. Stir in the heavy cream, then bring the chicken thighs back into the mix. Simmer everything for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and envelop the chicken in that rich, creamy goodness.
6. Finally, garnish your dish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra zing.
Enjoy this delightful dish with a side of rice or some crusty bread to soak up that sauce!
