Description
A cozy dish of chicken thighs simmered in a rich, creamy sauce, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on for best flavor)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon flour (for thickening)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Begin by seasoning your chicken thighs generously with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Brown the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes), then flip and brown the other side for another 5 minutes.
- Sauté the vegetables: Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant.
- Create the sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring well. Gradually pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer.
- Combine and cook: Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve and garnish: Remove from heat, garnish with parsley, and serve hot over rice or mashed potatoes.
