Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Thighs

Print Recipe

Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Thighs is a rich and comforting dish featuring crispy, pan-seared chicken thighs smothered in a creamy garlic and Parmesan cheese sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and sear until golden and crispy, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir until smooth and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Return chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon sauce over the chicken.
  7. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra richness, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
  • Boneless thighs or chicken breasts can be substituted but may require shorter cooking time.
