Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Sear in the skillet until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes each side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, cooking until it thickens slightly.
- Return chicken thighs to the skillet, coating them with the sauce.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F / 74°C).
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For best results, use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken and adjust seasoning as desired.
