Ingredients
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon EACH garlic powder paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon EACH salt and black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter divided
- 3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3/4 cup white wine or chicken broth
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.
- Combine the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture on each side of the thighs so they are fully coated.
- Sear the thighs on each side 3-4 minutes until golden brown (they won't be cooked through). Once both sides are browned remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the butter to the skillet with the sun dried tomatoes and garlic. Sauté about 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the wine or chicken broth and allow it to simmer until reduced by half (this should take 5-6 minutes)
- When the wine has reduced add the heavy whipped cream and stir well. Allow the sauce to simmer 5 minutes, until it has begun to thicken. Stir in the parmesan.
- Add the sautéed chicken thighs to the sauce and bake 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F. (I personally shoot for 175-185 for tender, juicy chicken thighs)
