Baked boneless chicken thighs are easy to make for dinner and so delicious. They are juicy and full of flavor, and the white sauce makes a great addition to pasta or rice to complete the meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp dry parsley
  • 1 1/2 tsp dry basil
  • 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 3/4 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Sauce

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Mix all the spices in a small bowl.

Step 2: Pat the chicken thighs dry of excess moisture. Add the olive oil and spices to the chicken and coat them evenly.

Step 3: Sear the chicken in a pan. I love the cast iron pan in this case because you can put it straight into the oven after searing. If you want to grill the chicken instead, this works just as well and gives a nice grilled flavor to the dish. I have done both and they turn out equally delicious.

Step 4: Add heavy cream into the pan or a casserole dish. Mix in all the spices and then add the grilled or seared chicken in the sauce.

Step 5: Bake the chicken at 375*F for 30 minutes or so. If your guests are running late, leave in the oven for another 15 minutes or as needed. Chicken thighs are juicy and pretty much never overbake in this white sauce.

Notes

To prepare ahead of time, grill or sear chicken up to 24 hours in advance.
