Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. Season chicken thighs with 21 Salute Seasoning, salt, and pepper.

3. Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Melt 2 tbsp butter, then sear the chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Set aside.

4. In the same skillet, melt remaining 2 tbsp butter. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

5. Add flour and stir constantly for 1 minute to form a roux.

6. Slowly whisk in chicken broth. Let simmer until slightly thickened.

7. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Return chicken thighs to the skillet, spooning sauce over each piece.

9. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F internally.

10. Garnish with fresh dill and more Parmesan if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Patting the chicken dry helps get that perfect sear.

Don’t overcrowd the skillet when browning — work in batches if needed.

For variation, add sliced mushrooms after garlic, or replace broth with white wine for a deeper flavor.

Reheat leftovers gently with a splash of broth or cream to keep the sauce smooth.
