Instructions
Creating a delightful Herb Roasted Chicken in Creamy Sauce is a simple task if you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and garlic powder. Coat the chicken thighs thoroughly in this mixture.
3. Brown Chicken: In an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side down. Sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the chicken and sear for another 5 minutes.
4. Remove Chicken: Once browned, remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
5. Make Sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits at the bottom. Bring to a simmer.
6. Add Cream and Cheese: Reduce heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Mix well until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
7. Return Chicken: Place the chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon some sauce over the top.
8. Roast: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 30-35 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
9. Rest Chicken: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes.
10. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for an appealing finish.
