For an even richer flavor, consider using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. You'll need to adjust the cooking time accordingly. Add a splash of white wine to the skillet after cooking the garlic for an extra layer of flavor. Serve over creamy mashed potatoes, pasta, rice, or mashed cauliflower for a complete and satisfying meal. If you don't have heavy cream on hand, half-and-half or whole milk can be used, but the sauce may not be as thick and rich. Feel free to add other vegetables to the skillet, such as sliced mushrooms or spinach, for added nutrients and flavor.
