Ingredients
•
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
•
1 tablespoon minced garlic
•
2 teaspoons dried thyme
•
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
•
1/2 cup chicken broth
•
1/3 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and cut into strips
•
1 cup heavy cream
•
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
2
Heat an oven-proof skillet over high heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon oil, then add chicken. Cook until well seared, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and reduce the heat to medium.
3
Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil, then add garlic, thyme, and rosemary; let spices bloom for 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth, then add sun-dried tomatoes, then add cream. Stir well, then blend in Parmesan cheese. Bring to a light simmer. Return chicken to the pan.
4
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
5
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly to let the sauce thicken before serving, about 5 minutes.
