0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
3 tbsp butter
44g
3 garlic cloves
9g
1/4 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.08g
1 cup chicken gravy
240g
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
120g
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
18g
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
24g
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4g
1/4 tsp dried oregano
0.45g
1/4 tsp dried basil
0.35g
1 cup basil leaves
6g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Chicken:
- Rinse and pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels.
- Season both sides of the chicken thighs with a dash of salt and black pepper.
2. Cook Chicken:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter and let it melt.
- Place the chicken thighs in the skillet, skin side down, and cook until the skin is golden brown and crispy (about 5-7 minutes).
- Flip the chicken thighs and cook for another 5 minutes until browned.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken gravy and heavy whipping cream, stirring to combine.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes, grated parmesan cheese, dried thyme, dried oregano, and dried basil.
- Stir well until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
4. Simmer Chicken:
- Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
- Let the chicken simmer in the sauce over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
5. Final Touches:
- Stir the sauce occasionally and spoon some over the chicken thighs to ensure they're well-coated.
- Once the chicken is done, remove the skillet from the heat.
6. Serve:
- Place the chicken thighs on a serving platter.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and added flavor.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve hot with your favorite side dishes like rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.

Tips:

- Use high-quality chicken thighs for the best flavor and tenderness.

- Don't skimp on the fresh basil leaves; they add a burst of fresh flavor that complements the richness of the dish.

- If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes, you can substitute with roasted red peppers for a different but still delicious flavor.

- Be sure to season the chicken well with salt and pepper before cooking to enhance the overall taste.

- Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for a few extra minutes to fully meld the flavors together.
