Instructions
0 Season chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, lemon pepper and 2 tbsp neutral oil on both sides. 1 In a pan over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter with 2 tbsp neutral oil. Once the butter melts, add chicken thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until it browns. Remove from the pan. 2 Turn the heat down to medium low and add a bit oil if needed (see notes). 3 Add shallots and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes before pouring in heavy cream and scraping off the bottom to deglaze the pan. Add the sauce seasonings and parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined. 4 Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes before adding lemon juice and minced parsley. Stir and taste. Adjust the seasoning if needed. 5 Add the chicken back to the pan and let it cook for another minute before turning off heat. 6 Coat the chicken with the sauce and serve with mashed potatoes or veggies.
