Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

For Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

Sauce

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare and season the chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry to ensure crispy skin. Generously season both sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika to create a flavorful crust.
  2. Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook without moving until the skins are golden brown and crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for 4-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the creamy garlic sauce: Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic to the same skillet, sautéing until fragrant but not browned. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits for extra flavor. Stir in the heavy cream and fresh lemon juice, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Combine and simmer: Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, spooning sauce over each piece. Cover and let simmer gently for 10-12 minutes, ensuring the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. Finish with fresh herbs: Remove the chicken to serving plates and stir chopped parsley into the sauce. Pour the sauce generously over the chicken before serving.

Notes

  • Pat the chicken dry to get irresistibly crispy skin every time.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming instead of searing.
  • Use fresh garlic cloves for vibrant and rich garlic flavor.
  • Simmer the sauce gently and stir often to achieve a perfect creamy consistency without curdling.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to seal in juices and deepen flavor.
