Garlic Chicken Thighs with White Wine and Greek Yogurt is a delectable dish that combines tender chicken thighs with a creamy, flavorful sauce. This recipe uses simple ingredients like garlic, chicken broth, white wine, and Greek yogurt to create a rich and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. The addition of fresh thyme and paprika adds a touch of freshness and warmth, making this dish a household favorite.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Pat dry the chicken thighs using paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help in achieving a crispy sear.
- Sprinkle the chicken thighs with a dash of salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides. Rub the spices into the skin to ensure an even coating.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up for about a minute.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Sear for about 5-7 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip the chicken thighs and continue to sear the other side for an additional 3-5 minutes.
- Once seared, remove the chicken thighs from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the 20 garlic cloves. Cook the garlic over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine and chicken broth. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the liquid to simmer for about 2 minutes to slightly reduce.
- Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, placing them skin-side up. Tuck the garlic cloves around the chicken thighs.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the chicken cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are cooked through and tender (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the Greek yogurt and fresh thyme, ensuring the yogurt is well blended into the sauce. This will make the sauce creamy and flavorful.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
- Serve the garlic chicken thighs hot, with the creamy garlic sauce drizzled over the top. They pair wonderfully with a side of steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- For even browning and crispier skin, pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels before seasoning and cooking.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can mince some of the garlic cloves and leave others whole for a combination of textures and tastes.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine thoroughly to ensure you capture all the flavorful bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Simmer the sauce on low heat to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully without curdling the Greek yogurt.
- Garnish with additional fresh thyme or parsley for a bright and fresh finish.
Your Garlic Chicken Thighs with White Wine and Greek Yogurt is now ready to serve! The tender chicken pairs wonderfully with the creamy and flavorful sauce, making it a comforting and satisfying meal.
