Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces bone-in chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Cook Chicken
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
  2. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and sear them for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the chicken and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
Prepare Sauce
  1. Once the chicken is nearly cooked through, remove it from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until aromatic, careful not to burn it.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the Italian seasoning and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine and Serve
  1. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Let them simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes until they are fully cooked and tender.
  2. Spoon the sauce over the chicken thighs and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest before serving for juiciness. Feel free to add herbs or spices to the sauce.
