– 4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create the Easy Bobby Flay Chicken Thighs with Creamy Garlic Sauce:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Season Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
3. Sear Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown.
4. Flip Chicken: Carefully flip the chicken thighs over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
5. Remove Chicken: Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
6. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
7. Make Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then add Dijon mustard, thyme leaves, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
8. Return Chicken: Place the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon some of the sauce over the top.
9. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
10. Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.
