Description

A comforting dish with tender chicken thighs enveloped in a rich, creamy sauce, perfect for cozy weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  3. Sear chicken thighs in the skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Mix heavy cream, Parmesan, and minced garlic in a bowl.
  5. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and pour the creamy mixture over them.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Notes

For best results, marinate the chicken in the creamy sauce a few hours before baking for extra flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
