Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme

  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • ⅓ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and cut into strips

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat an oven-proof skillet over high heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon oil, then add chicken. Cook until well seared, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and reduce the heat to medium.

  3. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil, then add garlic, thyme, and rosemary; let spices bloom for 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth, then add sun-dried tomatoes, then add cream. Stir well, then blend in Parmesan cheese. Bring to a light simmer. Return chicken to the pan.

  4. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly to let the sauce thicken before serving, about 5 minutes.
