Directions

  1. In a large bowl, place 6 chicken thighs. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. Drizzle with olive oil and mix until the chicken is fully coated in the seasonings.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add butter, minced garlic, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Stir to combine.
  4. Season the sauce with Italian seasoning and fresh parsley. Grate in Parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce is smooth.
  5. Pour the sauce into the bottom of a roasting pan. Place the seared chicken thighs on top of the sauce. Drizzle lemon juice over the chicken.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 415°F (210°C) for 45 minutes, until the chicken is tender and the sauce is bubbly and golden.
  7. Serve warm, spooning extra sauce over the chicken. Enjoy!
