Ingredients
Scale
- 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook skin-side down until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
- Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped shallot and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice, simmering until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, sprinkle with fresh thyme, and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Simmer for 2 more minutes to heat through.
- Plate the chicken with sauce on top and garnish with thyme if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
For even cooking, allow chicken thighs to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
