Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Season the chicken thighs evenly with the spice mixture.
  • In an oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Spoon the sauce from the skillet over the chicken.
