Step by step

Method

4 steps

  1. 1

    Pat 1½ pounds boneless chicken thighs dry. Season with ¾ teaspoon kosher salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper, then sear in 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high for 5–6 minutes per side. Transfer them to a plate while the center is still underdone.

  2. 2

    Lower the heat to medium. Cook 1 diced shallot for 3–4 minutes, then add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning for 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Stir in one 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes and ½ cup chicken broth. Simmer 8–10 minutes, until the sauce darkens slightly and leaves a clear trail when stirred.

  4. 4

    Pour in ½ cup heavy cream and return the chicken with its juices. Cover and simmer 6–8 minutes, until the thighs reach 165°F. Finish with basil and grated Parmesan.
