This one-pan chicken dinner features skin-on thighs seared until golden and crisp, served in a bright lemon-butter cream sauce. Minced garlic and fresh lemon zest provide a sharp, aromatic contrast to the rich pan sauce, which reduces naturally without the use of flour or thickeners. It is a fast, stovetop meal that delivers tender meat and a glossy, citrus-infused finish directly from the skillet.
