Creamy Garlic Tuscan Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 cups fresh spinach
Chopped parsley (for garnish)
Directions
Season the chicken: Pat chicken thighs dry and season with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Sauté garlic: In the same skillet, lower the heat and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Prepare the sauce: Stir in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer, then add Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce is smooth.
Cook the spinach: Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Combine everything: Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon some sauce over the chicken and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm with crusty bread, rice, or pasta.
