Juicy oven-baked chicken thighs with crispy skin and a rich, creamy garlic Parmesan sauce — made all in one oven-safe skillet for an easy, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • Optional: fresh parsley or thyme for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

  • Heat oil and butter in oven-safe skillet. Sear chicken skin-side down for 4–5 minutes; flip and cook another 2–3 minutes. Remove from pan.

  • In the same pan, sauté garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth and scrape up browned bits.

  • Stir in cream, Dijon, seasoning, and Parmesan. Simmer briefly.

  • Return chicken to pan, skin-side up. Spoon sauce over top.

  • Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

  • Broil for 2–3 minutes for crispier skin, if desired.

  • Rest 5 minutes, then garnish and serve.

Notes

Add mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor. Substitute boneless thighs or chicken breasts, adjusting cook time. Keto-friendly and great for meal prep.
