Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs on both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge each piece of chicken lightly in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the diced onion and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the leftover flour (used for dredging) into the skillet and whisk continuously for 1–2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 7

Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 3–4 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme, paprika, and the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.

Step 9

Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on medium-low heat for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 10

Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve the Gravin Chicken hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious gravy.
