Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (3 - 4 chicken thighs)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 2 TBS olive oil
  • ½ onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 TBS curry powder
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup sour cream (250 g)

Instructions
 

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Heat the oven to 400℉.
  • Pat the chicken thighs with a paper towel to remove moisture from the surface. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, making sure not to crowd the skillet. Cook each thigh undisturbed for about 3 minutes, allowing them to brown. Flip and cook undisturbed for another 3 minutes. Remove the browned chicken thighs from the skillet and set aside.
  • Pour the olive oil into the skillet. Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next, put in the minced garlic and curry powder. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring to coat the onions and avoid burning.

  • Whisk in the broth and sour cream. Bring to a low boil. Once boiling, remove the skillet from the heat. Nestle the browned chicken thighs into the curry sauce. Put the skillet into the heated oven. Cook for 25 - 30 minutes, until the internal temperature of the thighs read 165℉.
    1 cup chicken or vegetable broth, 1 cup sour cream
  • Once cooked, take the skillet out of the oven. Add a sprinkle of minced parsley and enjoy over rice or with a piece of naan.
