Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 6 boneless chicken thighs (about 1½ pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Seasonings:

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to your taste

For the Creamy Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small shallot, finely minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Start with the prep: Grab a stack of paper towels and pat those chicken thighs really dry. This is your golden ticket to crispy perfection, folks!
  2. Make your seasoning blend: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub that seasoning all over the thighs like you mean it—no patchy spots allowed!
  3. Sear those beauties: Heat your cast iron skillet over medium heat with the olive oil. Once it’s hot (but not smoking), place the chicken skin-side down and let it sizzle away for 5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 8-10 minutes, until internal temp hits 165°F.
  4. Start the sauce (in the same skillet!): Don’t you dare wash that pan. That’s flavor gold. Melt butter, then toss in the shallot and garlic. Cook for about a minute until fragrant—your kitchen will already smell amazing.
  5. Build the flavor: Add in chicken broth, lemon juice, thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes. Lower the heat and let it get cozy.
  6. Creamy finale: Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for about 5 minutes, until your sauce thickens to a dreamy consistency. Nestle the chicken thighs back into the sauce and sprinkle with parsley.
  7. Serve and swoon: Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or even crusty bread—because you will want to mop up every last drop.
