Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Thighs

Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Thighs Recipe with Roasted Veggies


  • Author: David
  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 servings

Description

Tender, juicy chicken thighs coated in a rich, garlicky parmesan cream sauce, served alongside perfectly caramelized vegetables—a comforting and versatile dish perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • Fresh garlic
  • Freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Heavy cream
  • Unsalted butter
  • Carrots
  • Brussels sprouts
  • Red onions
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Paprika
  • Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika, then spread them out on a sheet pan in a single layer.
  2. Roast the vegetables in the oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through for even caramelization.
  3. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add olive oil to the pan and sear chicken, skin-side down, for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
  4. Remove chicken temporarily from the skillet. Lower heat to medium and add butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in heavy cream and freshly grated parmesan, whisking until smooth.
  5. Return chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, and spoon some sauce over the top. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
  6. Remove skillet from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes. Serve with roasted veggies on the side, and drizzle extra sauce over everything.

Notes

Sear chicken properly for crispy skin and space out veggies on the sheet pan to ensure caramelization. Use a meat thermometer to check chicken doneness. Adjust seasoning in the sauce as needed.
