- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth

- Allow everything to simmer until it is heated through. Garnish with fresh thyme before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate chicken thighs in your favorite spices before cooking. Substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a different taste.
