Directions
- Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin. Generously season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the pan, cooking for 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until they become translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Pour in 1 cup of dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to lift any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce for about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup of chicken broth and ½ cup of heavy cream, blending them into the wine reduction. Bring the mixture back to a simmer, then return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet.
- Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, check for seasoning and adjust with more salt or pepper if needed. Stir in a splash of lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
