Ingredients

  • 13.4 oz (380 g) boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 0.7 oz (20 g) garlic, finely minced
  • 6.3 oz (180 g) whole milk
  • 2.1 oz (60 g) heavy cream
  • 3.0 tsp (14 g) butter
  • 0.3 tsp (2 g) salt
  • 0.5 tsp (1 g) black pepper

Method

  1. Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side.
  2. Transfer chicken to a plate. Reduce heat to low and stir garlic into the pan for 30 seconds; do not let it brown.
  3. Pour in milk and cream, scraping up the browned bits. Return chicken and simmer gently for 10–15 minutes until the thickest part reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid a hard boil.
  4. Spoon garlic sauce over the chicken and divide into two servings.
