Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Chicken Thighs Provides richness and juiciness; chicken breasts may be substituted.
For the Creamy Sauce
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Creates the creamy texture; can substitute with half-and-half for a lighter version.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced or chopped finely for flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Citrus (Lemon Juice) Adds brightness; add at the end to prevent sauce from breaking.
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth Helps loosen sauce; substitute with water if necessary.
For Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Add fresh when serving to enhance presentation.

Equipment

  • skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat and adding a splash of oil. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through. Set aside.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden.
  3. Pour in a splash of chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced slightly.
  4. Turn heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Allow to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Remove skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, ensuring they are well-coated. Let sit for about 2 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and let chicken rest for 5 minutes. Plate the chicken thighs and drizzle with sauce, garnishing with fresh parsley.
