These Garlic Herb Chicken Thighs are juicy, flavorful, and easy to make in under 30 minutes. They’re pan-seared and smothered in a creamy garlic herb sauce that’s dairy-free and perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 7-8 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add chicken stock, coconut milk, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, rosemary, and thyme. Stir to combine and let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the thighs. Cover and simmer for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through.
  6. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use boneless thighs for a quicker cook time.
  • Substitute coconut milk with heavy cream if dairy is not an issue.
  • Pairs well with mashed cauliflower or roasted veggies.
