Ingredients
Chicken thighs: create juicy texture and rich flavor Use bone in for even more taste and ask your butcher for the plumpest ones
Onion powder and garlic powder: both build savoriness without chopping
Cajun seasoning: gives a little heat for balance Try a fresher blend from a spice shop if available
Pepper: brings sharpness and keeps things from getting too rich
Paprika: adds warm color and depth Smoked or sweet both work
Italian herbs: bring that classic comfort blend Look for a mix with basil oregano and thyme
Olive oil: helps get that golden sear on the chicken Use extra virgin for best flavor
Butter: gives the sauce creaminess and silkiness Use real unsalted for control
Fresh minced garlic: is the backbone of the sauce Use firm heavy bulbs
Chicken broth: loosens the sauce and brings savory depth Opt for low sodium
Heavy whipping cream: creates the luscious base for the sauce Do not substitute here
Sun dried tomatoes: add tangy bursts of flavor Try oil packed for softness
White cooking wine: brightens and lifts the sauce Use one you would also enjoy drinking
Fresh shredded parmesan or Italian cheese: melts smoothly for savory richness Shred your own for best texture
