Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 55m

Yield 6 thighs, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 chicken thighs
2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning, divided
1/4 cup flour (use gluten free flour for gluten free version)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon butter
5 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon lemon, pepper seasoning
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 green onions, green part only, chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
3 lemon slices, for garnish

Steps:

  • Chicken Thighs:.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In zip-top bag, place 2 teaspoons of lemon pepper seasoning with flour and shake to mix thoroughly. Briefly shake thighs, 2 or 3 at a time, till coated.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add chicken thighs skin side down and cook for about 4 minutes until browned. Flip the chicken thighs over and cook for 2 minutes on the other side. Remove from heat. Put chicken thighs skin side up (crispy side up) on a baking sheet and bake at 375 F for about 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked, the juices run clear and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
  • Creamy Sauce:.
  • In the mean time, while the chicken is baking, make the sauce: Wipe the skillet you used for cooking the chicken thighs. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter to skillet. Add minced garlic and cook, constantly stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add chicken stock and 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning to the skillet and bring to light boil. Add heavy cream and bring back to boil. Add shredded cheese and stir until melted. Reduce heat to simmer and keep stirring until the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat. Add 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice and stir inches Top the sauce with chopped green onions (chop up only green portion of green onions and don't use white portion). Keep the sauce covered.
  • The chicken should be cooked by now. Check it for doneness and if chicken is completely cooked through, add it to the skillet on top of the sauce and on top of green onions. Top with chopped parsley and decorate with a few slices of lemon.

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a quick and easy meal. If you prefer dark meat, chicken thighs are a great option.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked through before serving. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) as measured by a meat thermometer.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and garlic for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as bright.
  • Add some chopped fresh parsley or chives to the finished dish for a pop of color and flavor.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This creamy garlic lemon chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a creamy sauce made with lemon juice, garlic, and butter, and it's absolutely bursting with flavor. The crispy Parmesan crust adds a nice touch of texture and richness. Serve this dish with your favorite sides and enjoy!
