When ice starts tapping the windows and everything outside slows down, you want dinner that feels like a hug.
Not complicated.
Not rushed.
Not something you had to panic buy.
Just a pot on the stove. Warmth in the kitchen. And the kind of meal that makes everyone wander in asking, “What smells so good?”
Here is your cozy, snowed-in chicken dinner using one of our staples.
Creamy Garlic Herb Chicken Thighs
Rich. Simple. Deeply comforting.
This is a one-pan dinner that feels special but takes very little effort. Perfect for snow days.
What You’ll Need
2 tablespoons butter or chicken fat
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Optional: fresh parsley
Side dish inspiration: mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty sourdough
How To Make It
Heat butter or chicken fat in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Brown both sides. Remove and set aside.
Add onion and garlic to the pan. Sauté until soft and fragrant.
Pour in broth. Scrape up the browned bits.
Stir in cream, thyme, and rosemary.
Add chicken back in. Cover and simmer on low for 25 to 35 minutes until tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning.
Sprinkle with parsley if using.
Serve hot. Preferably while the snow is falling.
