Ingredients

For the Marinade:
• 2 tsp Herbes de Provence
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

For Cooking:
• 2 tbsp butter
• 8 cloves garlic, chopped
• ¼ cup water
• ¼ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2–3 hours.

Cook Chicken: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add marinated chicken and cook 4–5 minutes per side until golden and mostly cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Make Sauce: In the same skillet, add chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in water and scrape up any browned bits. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer.

Finish: Return chicken to the pan and simmer for 5–7 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked and sauce thickens slightly.

Serve: Spoon creamy garlic sauce over chicken and enjoy with roasted veggies or cauliflower mash.
