Serving Size

• This recipe serves 4 people.

Ingredients

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sear the Chicken: In a large oven-proof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook until the skin is golden and crispy, about 5 minutes. Flip the thighs and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
3. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
4. Make the Sauce: While baking the chicken, pour out excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add garlic to the skillet and sauté over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Whisk in the mustard and heavy cream. Add thyme. Let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Combine & Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven once the chicken is cooked. Place the chicken thighs on plates and drizzle with the creamy mustard sauce. Garnish with parsley before serving.
