Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bone-in, skin-on chicken thigh
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp dried herbs (thyme, parsley, or Italian mix)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. 1. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken skin-side down for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook until fully cooked through. Remove from skillet.
