Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  6. Stir in heavy cream, parsley, and thyme. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Return chicken thighs to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
  8. Serve the creamy garlic chicken thighs with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, serve with cauliflower rice or steamed vegetables.
  • Ensure your skillet is hot before adding the chicken for a good sear.
  • You can substitute other herbs like rosemary or chives.
