Ingredients

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin side down for 6-7 minutes until golden brown; flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes. Remove from skillet.
In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion until softened (about 3-4 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Pour in heavy cream and whisk in Dijon mustard and whole grain mustard. Add thyme and let simmer gently.
Return chicken thighs to the skillet, spoon sauce over them, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
