instructions
    1

    Begin by marinating the chicken thighs. In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and your choice of spices. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

    2

    While the chicken is marinating, finely chop the onion and garlic. Set aside.

    3

    In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs and sear them for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

    4

    In the same pan, add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing them for about 3 minutes until they are fragrant and translucent.

    5

    Next, add the chopped green bell pepper to the pan and cook for an additional 3 minutes until they soften.

    6

    Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and stir well. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer.

    7

    Return the chicken thighs to the pan and let them cook in the creamy sauce for about 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Make sure to stir occasionally.

    8

    Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the creamy chicken thighs warm with your choice of rice or bread.
