Description

Chicken thighs cooked in a creamy gravy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add sliced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the onion mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  6. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  7. Bring to a simmer and cook until the gravy has thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Stir in heavy cream and thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Return chicken thighs to the skillet and spoon gravy over them.
  10. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  11. Serve hot with your choice of sides.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a splash of white wine to the gravy while it simmers.
  • Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
