    Chicken in Sun Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

    Published: Nov 11, 2018 · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    I'm more of a white meat girl when it comes to chicken but I have been learning to have an appreciation for chicken thighs. When roasted at a high heat for crispy skin, it's actually really delicious. The skin stays crispy but the meat stays moist and doesn't become dry. This recipe pairs that greatness with a delicious sauce. Serve it with some potatoes and you have a delicious meal.

    Ingredients

    Serves 3-6
    Chicken in Sun Dried Tomato Cream Sauce
    6 bone in skin on chicken thighs
    1 tsp kosher salt
    1 tsp black pepper
    1 tsp onion powder
    1 tsp garlic powder
    3 tbsp butter
    3 tsp minced garlic
    1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
    2 tsp Italian seasoning
    1 cup chicken broth
    1/2 cup cream
    2/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
    1/2 cup julienne sun dried tomatoes
