Rich and Flavorful Creamy Garlic Chicken 🧄🍋
Ingredients:
- 6 chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions:
1. Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
