Instructions
- Generously season both sides of the chicken thighs with onion powder, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, paprika, and Italian herbs.

- Using the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for approximately 3 minutes or until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, sun dried tomatoes, and heavy whipping cream. Stir to combine then add dry white wine. Season with additional salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring steadily.
- Gradually sprinkle in the grated Parmesan or Italian cheese, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth, cohesive sauce.
- Pour the finished sauce evenly over the seared chicken thighs in the baking dish. Place in a preheated oven at 200°C and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
- Remove chicken from oven and serve with the pan sauce over a base of mashed potatoes or side of choice.
