A comforting, easy dinner option featuring tender chicken thighs topped with a rich, creamy sauce, perfect for busy families.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry and generously season them with salt and pepper.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Sear the chicken thighs for about 5 minutes on each side, creating a golden brown crust.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, paprika, and grated Parmesan until smooth and well combined.
  5. Transfer the seared chicken thighs to a baking dish. Pour the creamy sauce over the top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. Once done, garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream and reduce the cheese. You can substitute for skinless, boneless chicken if preferred.
