Ingredients
  

  • 4 piece bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté chopped onion and garlic in the skillet for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  • Add chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up browned bits. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  • Return chicken to the skillet, skin-side up. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

For a lighter version, remove the skin from the chicken thighs before cooking.
