For an even richer flavor, consider using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. You may need to increase the baking time to ensure they are fully cooked. If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it on the stovetop for a few minutes before adding the chicken back in. Serve this dish over creamy mashed potatoes, polenta, or your favorite pasta for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepHeat an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then carefully place the chicken thighs in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside. Reduce heat to medium. (Cook time: 6 minutes)
03
StepAdd the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary; allow the spices to bloom, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and add the sliced sun-dried tomatoes, stirring to combine. Gently pour in the heavy cream, then stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
04
StepReturn the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), approximately 15 minutes. (Bake time: 15 minutes)
05
StepRemove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to thicken slightly, enhancing the overall flavor. (Rest time: 5 minutes)
