Ingredients
- 4 Chicken thighs
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 Cup Chicken broth
- 2 1/2 tbs Olive oil
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
- 1/4 tsp Paprika

- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp Dried parsley

Directions
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Coat them evenly on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the skillet, skin side down, and cook for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Flip the chicken thighs and cook for an additional 3 minutes
.
Transfer the chicken thighs to a baking dish and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the cream cheese sauce. In the same skillet used to cook the chicken, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the cream cheese and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring until the cream cheese is melted and smooth.
Gradually whisk in the all-purpose flour to thicken the sauce. Continue whisking until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Stir in the Italian seasoning and dried parsley, and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Once the chicken thighs are done baking, remove them from the oven and pour the cream cheese sauce over the top, ensuring each thigh is coated with the sauce.
Serve the creamy chicken thighs with sauce over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Enjoy the delectable flavors of tender chicken thighs smothered in a creamy and flavorful cream cheese sauce. The combination of spices and the richness of the sauce will have your taste buds singing with delight. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or entertaining guests.
