Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme and parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt a tablespoon of butter. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then sear in the skillet for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Notes
For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a non-dairy alternative. Adding vegetables like spinach or mushrooms can enhance flavor and nutrition.
