Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 chicken thighs
- 2 chicken breasts
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
Liquid and Binding Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) chicken broth
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), preparing a spacious baking dish for the chicken ensemble.
- Thoroughly blend all seasoning ingredients in a small mixing bowl, creating a robust spice mixture.
- Pat chicken pieces completely dry with paper towels to ensure optimal seasoning adherence.
- Generously coat each chicken piece with the spice blend, massaging the seasonings deeply into the meat.
- Whisk egg, chicken broth, heavy cream, and olive oil in a separate bowl until smoothly integrated.
- Dust chicken pieces with flour, shaking off excess to create a light, even coating.
- Drizzle half of the liquid mixture across the bottom of the baking dish, creating a flavorful base.
- Carefully arrange seasoned chicken pieces in the dish, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Gently pour remaining liquid mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is partially submerged.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap moisture and enhance tenderness.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, removing foil during the last 10 minutes to allow slight browning.
- Verify chicken’s doneness by checking internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest point.
- Let chicken rest for 5-7 minutes after removing from oven to allow juices to redistribute.
- Serve hot, spooning any remaining pan juices over the chicken for added flavor and moisture.
Notes
- Pat chicken pieces completely dry to help seasonings stick and create a crispy exterior when baking.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking dish to ensure even cooking and proper heat circulation around each chicken piece.
- Use a meat thermometer to accurately check internal temperature, preventing undercooked chicken and ensuring food safety.
- For a gluten-free version, replace wheat flour with almond flour or cornstarch, maintaining the same light coating technique.
