Ingredients
Scale
- 4-6 chicken thighs boneless
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (I use avocado oil)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 5 cloves garlic (diced or minced)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Coat each chicken thigh evenly with the mixture in a mixing bowl. Add flour and toss well to coat.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, adding oil. Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes until crispy and easily releases from the skillet. Flip and cook the other side until crispy and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and add butter and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Stir and let the sauce simmer until it reduces by half, tasting and adjusting seasoning if necessary.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer on low until heated through.
Notes
For extra flavor, allow the sauce to simmer longer if desired.
Serve with rice or pasta to soak up the creamy garlic sauce.
Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for added nutrition.
