Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1⁄2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then sauté them in the pan until golden brown, about 5–7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add butter and garlic, sautéing until golden and fragrant.
- Stir in chicken broth, scraping the pan to add flavor, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add heavy cream, stirring continuously, then add parsley, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken thighs to the pan, ensuring each piece is coated in sauce. Simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes until fully cooked.
- Add the lemon zest and juice, then serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
Notes
- Ensure garlic is not burnt to avoid bitterness.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
- Great with mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or a garden salad.
