Ingredients:
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Season and Sear the Chicken:
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin side down, until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for a few minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant.
- Make the Sauce:
- Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, oregano, and thyme to the skillet. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat, stir in the heavy cream, and return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin side up.
- Simmer and Serve:
