Scale
Gathering your ingredients is like preparing for a little culinary adventure. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Feel free to substitute heavy cream with half-and-half if you’re looking for a lighter option, and play around with the spices to suit your family’s taste preferences.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps for a meal that’s sure to become a family favorite:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with foil for easy cleanup.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Cook until the skin is golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Flip the thighs and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken thighs to the prepared baking dish. In the same skillet, add chicken broth, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken thighs in the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Cooking tip: If you find yourself with some extra sauce, don’t let it go to waste. It’s perfect for drizzling over mashed potatoes or a side of rice.
