  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
– 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)


Instructions

Creating Creamy Garlic Herb Cajun Chicken Thighs is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle Cajun seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs. Ensure they are well-coated for maximum flavor.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
4. Remove Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
5. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring not to burn it.
6. Add Liquids: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine with the garlic.
7. Season the Sauce: Add dried thyme, dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes, thickening slightly.
8. Return Chicken: Place the cooked chicken thighs back into the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and color.
10. Serve: Plate the chicken thighs, drizzling more sauce on top, and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

These straightforward steps will guide you in creating this creamy, flavorful dish effortlessly.
