– 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on

– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

To create Easy Bobby Flay Chicken Thighs with Creamy Garlic Sauce, follow these simple steps:
1. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
3. Sear the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Sear for about 7-8 minutes, until the skin is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 5 minutes.
4. Add Garlic: Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and stir well, adding the Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer and allow it to thicken slightly.
6. Return the Chicken: Place the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
7. Serve and Garnish: Once done, remove from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
