Creamy Chicken Thighs with Cheese

Marinate the Chicken In a bowl, combine sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

2.Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Make sure all the chicken thighs are coated evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for even more flavor.

Preheat the Oven Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Chicken Thighs Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish, skin side up.

Bake the Chicken Thighs Bake the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.

Prepare the Creamy Cheese Sauce While the chicken is baking, prepare the creamy cheese sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

Rest the Chicken Thighs Once the chicken thighs are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.

Serve and Enjoy Pour the creamy cheese sauce over the chicken thighs, making sure to evenly coat them. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
