Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1 head of garlic, separated into whole cloves (leave skins on)
- Fresh thyme, to taste
- 1 cup asiago cheese, shredded
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil for roasting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange chicken thighs in a baking dish and nestle whole garlic cloves around them.
- Drizzle olive oil over the chicken; season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
- While chicken rests, heat heavy cream in a saucepan and stir in shredded asiago until melted and smooth.
- Spoon the creamy asiago gravy over the roasted chicken and serve immediately.
Notes
Pat chicken dry before seasoning for crispier skin. Use a thermometer to ensure the thighs reach 165°F (74°C). Roast the garlic longer for extra caramelization.
