Instructions
Creating Creamy Garlic Herb Cajun Chicken Thighs is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken thighs with Cajun seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sear the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side down (if applicable). Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes.
4. Add Garlic: Once the chicken is nicely browned, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Pour in Cream and Broth: Gradually pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
6. Season the Sauce: Add dried thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to mix the flavors.
7. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing it to thicken and the chicken to cook through.
8. Check Doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
9. Garnish: Once cooked, remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
10. Serve: Plate the chicken thighs with the creamy sauce drizzled on top.
