Ingredients

– 4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin-on
– 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Creating Creamy Garlic Herb Cajun Chicken Thighs is a straightforward process. Just follow these steps for a delicious meal:

1. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
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. Sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for an additional 5 minutes.
4. Remove Chicken: Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
5. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
6. Add Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well to combine.
7. Season the Sauce: Add dried thyme and oregano to the sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
8. Return Chicken: Place the chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
