Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 5 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3/4 c. low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1/2 c. chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/4 c. grated Parmesan
  • Kosher salt and black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Sear until golden and skin is crispy, 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and pour off half the fat.
To skillet, add garlic, thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes and let cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan and season with salt. Bring to a simmer, then return chicken to skillet and bake for 15 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked through.
Garnish with basil and serve.
