Ingredients

8 Boneless Chicken Thighs
2 tbsp Cajun Seasoning
2 tbsp Olive Oil
4 cloves Garlic minced
1 Onion chopped
1 cup Heavy Cream
1 cup Chicken Broth
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Parsley for garnish

Instructions

Season the Chicken. Rub the chicken thighs with Cajun seasoning, ensuring they're evenly coated.
Sear the Chicken. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 14 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on both sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics. In the same skillet, add garlic and onion. Sauté until softened and fragrant.
Make the Creamy Sauce. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
Add Chicken and Simmer. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Simmer until the sauce has thickened and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
Garnish and Serve. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
