Ingredients

  1. 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  2. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  3. 3 Tbs unsalted butter, divided
  4. 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, or more, to taste
  5. 1 cup chicken broth
  6. 1/2 cup heavy cream
  7. 1/3 cup julienned sun dried tomatoes in olive oil, drained
  8. 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan
  9. 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  10. 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  11. 1/4 tsp dried basil
  12. 1/4 cup basil leaves, chiffonade

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°.

Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, to taste. Melt 2 Tbs butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2 - 3 minutes per side; set aside.

Use 2 Tbs butter in the skillet. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring frequently, about 1 - 2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, sun dried tomatoes, parmesan, thyme, oregano, and basil. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 - 5 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet.

Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 175°, about 25 - 30 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with basil, over pasta, rice, or zoodles.
