Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 Skin on Chicken Breasts ((Thighs can be substituted))
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Cooking Oil
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 clove Garlic ((minced))
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 sprigs fresh Thyme
  • 1 squeeze Lemon slice
  • 2 tablespoons Butter

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • If your chicken breasts come attached to the ribs, trim off bones so only meat and skin remain.
  • Sprinkle chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 10" oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  • Place chicken in skillet skin side down and sear until the skin is brown and crispy, but not burnt.
  • Flip chicken skin side up and place in a 400-degree oven until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Approximately 20 minutes depending on thickness.
  • Remove chicken from skillet, reserving fat in the pan, and let the chicken rest while creating the sauce.
  • Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook over medium heat until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour chicken broth into the skillet and deglaze the bottom of the pan, simmer until reduced in half.
  • Add heavy cream and thyme sprigs and continue to simmer and whisk until the sauce has thickened, approximately 5 minutes. Taste for salt and add butter and a squeeze of lemon. Stir butter as it melts to incorporate into the sauce.
  • Serve chicken breasts on a plate and spoon over cream sauce to taste.
