📝 Ingredients :
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Salt & black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
1 lb carrots, peeled
2 tbsp butter (for carrots)

🍽️ How to Make It :
1️⃣ Sear the Chicken:
Season chicken thighs well. In a hot skillet with olive oil, sear them skin-side down until golden and crispy. Flip and cook through for that crispy chicken dinner and juicy bite every time.
2️⃣ Build the Creamy Sauce:
In the same pan, sauté garlic, then add Italian seasoning, chicken broth, cream, and Dijon mustard. Simmer until thickened for a creamy herb sauce that’s totally irresistible.
3️⃣ Bake to Finish:
Return the chicken to the sauce and bake for 15 minutes at 375°F. This step locks in flavor for the ultimate oven-baked comfort dish.
4️⃣ Glaze the Carrots:
Simmer carrots in butter and a touch of water until fork-tender and glossy. These are your easy veggie upgrade and family-favorite side.
5️⃣ Serve It Up:
Plate mashed potatoes, top with creamy chicken thighs and pour over that dreamy sauce. Add carrots on the side and sprinkle with parsley for that next-level dinner plate.
