Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season them generously with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in all-purpose flour.
  2. In a cast-iron skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish, skin-side up. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  4. In the same skillet, deglaze with dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, and juice, and simmer until thickened.
  5. Mix in chopped parsley into the sauce before serving. Spoon it over the chicken thighs and garnish with additional parsley.
