Ingredients

  • 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs 4 large potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2
  • inch thick rounds 1 medium onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup chicken broth 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped 1 tsp dried basil Salt and pepper, to taste 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the chicken thighs on both sides over medium heat until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  7. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and cover with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes, remove foil, and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the sauce is bubbly.
  9. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
