Delicious Smothered Chicken Thighs with Creamy Gravy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 kg)
  • 1 tablespoon Lawry’s seasoning salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 packet Sazon seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (gluten-free flour can be substituted)
  • 2 tablespoons avocado or vegetable oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium white onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream (half and half can be used)
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, ensuring a nice sear. Generously season the chicken with Lawry’s seasoning salt, garlic powder, paprika, and Sazon.
  2. Dredging for Flavor: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and any remaining seasonings. This dredging mixture will not only coat the chicken but also help thicken the gravy later.
  3. Browning the Chicken: Heat the avocado or vegetable oil in an oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the pan.
  4. Creating the Gravy Base: Remove any excess oil from the pan, leaving about 2 tablespoons behind.
  5. Building Flavor with Liquid: Gradually whisk in the chicken stock while stirring to eliminate any lumps. As the mixture heats, it will thicken beautifully; this is the secret to a rich, velvety gravy.
  6. Combining and Baking: Nestle the browned chicken thighs back into the gravy, ensuring they are well-coated with that creamy goodness. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, allowing the flavors to meld together harmoniously.
  7. Finishing Touches: Once baked, uncover the pan and serve the chicken thighs topped with the creamy gravy. Sprinkle dried parsley over the top for a lovely presentation.
