Ingredients

  • 2 lbs (1kg) chicken thighs
  • salt
  • ground black pepper
  • cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 heads garlic top trimmed off
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 10 sprigs thymes
  • salt to taste
  • 2 dashes cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 squirts fresh lime juice

Instructions

  • Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Grease the skillet with a little cooking spray and pan-fry the chicken thighs until both sides turn crispy and golden brown. Set the chicken aside and discard the oil from the skillet.
  • Add the olive oil to the skillet and add the garlic and saute. Add the chicken broth, cream and thymes, stir to combine well.
  • Add the chicken, salt and cayenne pepper (if using) and lower the heat to simmer, turning the chicken a couple of times, so they are completely cooked through. Squirt some fresh lime juice on the chicken, serve immediately.

Notes

Cayenne pepper adds a nice tint of heat to the chicken.
