A delicious chicken in gravy recipe that is sure to impress your guests with its rich flavors and creamy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or your preferred chicken cuts)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Toss in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring well to combine, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
- Add the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary, stirring to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until cooked through.
- Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed, and simmer uncovered for a thicker gravy if desired.
- Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
- This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
- For a spicier version, consider adding red pepper flakes.
