Ingredients

Protein

  • 1.5 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • ½ tsp onion powder

Instructions 

  • Pat chicken thighs dry and season with ranch, salt, pepper, and paprika. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook thighs skin-side down for 6-8 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook 4 more minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Lower heat, add butter and garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth, scrape brown bits, then add heavy cream gradually. Simmer until thickened, 3-4 minutes.
  • Return chicken to skillet, simmer in sauce for 10 minutes, spooning sauce over. Adjust salt, add parsley, and serve hot.

Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
