Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
Prepare Chicken: Season chicken thighs on each side with Italian seasoning, ground thyme, salt, and pepper.
Begin Cooking Chicken: In a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Place chicken thighs in even layer and cook until lightly golden on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side (note that the chicken will not yet be cooked throughout). Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
Prepare Sauce: Reduce stovetop temperature to medium and add in chicken broth, heavy cream, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a light simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring regularly. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and shredded Parmesan and simmer for additional 1 minute.
Finish Cooking Chicken: Return chicken thighs to skillet and transfer skillet to preheated oven and cook until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, about 6-8 minutes.
Serve: Remove skillet from oven, garnish with shredded Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and freshly-cracked pepper, then serve.

Recipe Notes:

Refrigerator Storage: Store the dish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating Instructions: Reheat in a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed throughout. Or, microwave for 30-90 seconds, depending on the wattage of your microwave.
